Listening to in Dolby Atmos Streaming, via Tidal/Apple/Amazon

Impressed by the discrete-ness on this ballsy rock track:

Sting DOTBT: A boost in surrounds reveals quite a bit and much more pleasing. First impressions it’s a good mix just spacially shy as delivered. Listening on my 5.1 system.

I’ll give it a whirl on my Atmos system tonight

How much of a boost?

Hopefully more Kiss shows up. Whoever did the mix for Rock and Roll All Nite really knows what they are doing. I’d really like to hear the first 3 albums remixed, particularly Hotter Than Hell, hopefully they can do something about that hideous production

Usually Atmos and 5.1 mixes are mixed from the original multitrack recordings. The mix engineer have full controll over where to place any instrument/vocal/effects and so on. Upmix is a term for using the stereo mix as the source instead. This gives a lot of limitations and usually only makes the mix a little "wider". You wil typically hear reverb and out of phase components in the heights and rear speakers, but no discrete instruments.

Thank you.
I hear quite a lot of tracks that sounds as you’ve described as upmix.

Yeah, RA260 sucks. When will these companies learn to just support one spatial audio format.

It's weird; I had added the new Sting and Lightyear soundtrack to my Library from the ATV4K last night but they never showed up in my library even though when looking at them on the computer for their playing spots would say they were in my library. So once I found them again on the main Spatial Audio page (WIn. computer), opened them to play and deleted from my library and then re-instated to the library, then they finally showed up.

Big band jazz by talented youngsters (NYO = National Youth Orchestra) with some special guests. Not much going on up top, but it's a good 5.1 mix posing as Atmos.

This is hands down the best live Dolby Atmos mix I've ever heard. I"m in the audience.

How much of a boost?

About 10db which to me means it’s ‘faulty’ and needs a fix.

Some Gorillaz:

Ooo--this is good! I hope it means we get more Gorillaz in Atmos.

There's a couple more Faith No More in Atmos...

I finally got around to listening to these. A pretty good mix. Mostly strings, cymbal crashes and background vocals in the rear and heights. The fidelity is good. I would love if the whole album would get released in Atmos.

I'm sampling all the good stuff that has been released this week and there're unbelievably fantastic music and mixes. George Michael's perhaps shine over the others, but A-ha's Take on Me is demo material. Nothing but the Blues is much better than I was expecting and Songs About Jane is the only one (plus Sting's) that could have been much better (and Songs is miles ahead Sting's)

(the Esbjörn Svensson Trio is an interesting one to see in Atmos as it was previously mixed in 5.1 and released on Surround SACD)
