Immersive Audio Album (IAA) - Shop for 5.1/Atmos Downloads (Birdsong, Magenta, Bruce Soord, Katatonia...)

[The Bright Side]

Hey guys, I might be late to the party here, but I just discovered this online shop that nobody else seems to have mentioned here yet:

https://immersiveaudioalbum.com/
They have a bunch of 5.1 albums for sale and they look legit! Very interesting.

Anybody else stumble upon this?

Yes, we really should have an 'official' introduction!

 

[Mr. Afternoon]

This is official, yes I wanted to confirm I officially put my music there, very official, we need an official introduction and an official party with the officials of the site.

 

[edisonbaggins]

IAA has been mentioned quite a bit...

good to have a dedicated thread though.

I wasn't involved in the founding of the site, but I've been working there for a little over three months now. My main responsibility is to help acquire more albums for the shop, though I also write a lot of the editorial content (album reviews, interviews with artist/engineers, top 10 lists, etc). I've been posting regularly in @haikubass'
2021 Surround Releases thread when a new album is added. There's some cool stuff in the pipeline...

Our goal is to sort of be the 'Bandcamp of surround music' - any/all surround music-related projects are worthy of inclusion, no matter how small or obscure (I'm actually in talks with a guy right now who created some type of audiobook-like experience using a vintage Ambisonic format). So if you know of anyone working on a surround-related project that needs a release platform, don't hesitate to PM me.

Hopefully the site will be able to procure popular OOP titles and/or popular titles released lossily, trapped in huge box sets, etc.
I think IAA will rake in the dough if something of the sort could be worked out.

I'd love nothing more, but - as you'd probably guess - if it were a simple process, we'd have done it already. The bigger the entity, the harder it is to reach the right person and get your foot in the door. We're not a traditional reissue label like MoFi or D-V, so convincing bigger artists/labels of our legitimacy is a bit of an uphill battle. Never say never, but I wouldn't expect to see anything on our site from Sony or Warner Brothers anytime soon.

Sounds very reasonable. I'm thinking of Bruce Soord's debut, Caravan In the Land and stuff like that.

I need to mention Spooky Action by Paul Draper right here & now.

 

[madship]

I've purchased a few titles from the site and been very happy with them. The quality is great. Listening to Magenta which I just purchased.

Have you guys tried to connect with @ForagingRhino

I know it's a real long shot, but Steve is very pro quad and surround. Whatever the hang up with them and D-V in the UK might not apply here

Very awesome news. I had a hunch there was already buzz about this, but I don't stop by as often as I used to and I only keep up with a few threads at a time. Glad this shop is out there and I really hope you'll expand your catalogue quickly. I intend to buy soon. Definitely down for the Birdsong albums.

Have you tried getting Steven Vidaic's "Hearts Look Twice" album into your line-up? Hearts Look Twice, by Steven Vidaic

I Have bought today Kompendium¨s Beneath the Waves and I have found a bug (skip from 3:11 to 3:12 min) in Beneath the Waves/Sole Survivor track

Never heard of that one, but I like how it sounds. Tried to buy it, but got an error message and said the artist has been contacted.

Redesigned website just went live, complete with a free Atmos MP4 download!

Do you know of a site where you can purchase .Wav Atmos files?

Are you referring to the ADM BWF files? We stopped accepting them from clients as they're too large to download (a single song can be 3-5 GB) and only playable from an Atmos-equipped DAW or Dolby's $400 reference player software.

 

[oleintagout]

Great site. I have ordered several items from them. Combo Audio Atmos mixes are great.
