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

Saw this as a YT video first, but seems some of it is in Atmos, although didn't hear anything from the Center on the tune ft.
Nile Rodgers (Lights Out). It did have a lot happening in the rears.

Find Your Flame (Deluxe Edition)
Nubiyan Twist

You know, now that I look at that title's artwork, my foggy mind seems to remember seeing it here on this thread before (this thread gets long quick -thanks @fredblue .) I believe it came out earlier this year. But without adding text to your posts, it won't show up in a search IINM. However, yes I've listened to it personally now!

I'll add that the songs from Boys and Girls ("Slave To Love", "Don't Stop The Dance", and "Windswept") generally seem a bit less harsh to me than the old SACD 5.1 mixes - which weren't bad-sounding by any means, but not as smooth as Avalon. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album done this way, the lesser-known tracks like "Valentine" and "Stone Woman" should sound great in Atmos.

It might be just me but many of the tracks (incl Let's Stick Together, which sounds great on my SACD rip) sound quite thin and unremarkable on this Atmos mix. I realize it's streaming, of course, but that never stopped many of my faves from being dynamic, smooth, weighty and punchy. Especially the many fave electronic Atmos mixes, a genre that easily leads the way in both immersive mix creativity and overall dynamics on Apple Music...IMHO. For example, my rip of Casanova (from Lets Stick Togther lp) has a lot more lower end foundation than the Atmos mix here, although not nearly the worst offender. Anyway....love everything BF and Roxy, but love it a little less than was hoping.

Another album from TamiX

I added to my playlist of Modular Synthesizers in Space

This Billy Joel Storm Front mix is a disaster because the vocals are consistently mixed either too loud in the surrounds (the lead, not a harmony) or have weird echoing that isn't present in the stereo mix like Alexa. No centre channel activity whatsoever. I really dislike that trend.

Likely they get a stereo vocal from the stems, and cannot fold it back to mono to place on the centre channel, so they have to use a centre ghost...

And that would be fine - but why add reverb and delay through the surrounds and why put the lead there at all - it never works

A very nice playlist of good Atmos mixes on Apple music, created by a member of Audyssey Evo one Nexus forum

In that forum you can learn how to calibrate your AVR of Denon or Marrantz on a very nice way. And it can be also useful for other brands AVR

Sounds interesting, do you have a link to that forum?

Using a stereo mix as the baseline is fraught with problems. There are no rules with a remix, especially to Atmos. People who want the same thing should probably stick to the original mix.

For the same reasons why Guernica is black and white. It’s an artistic decision.

I know there is a wealth of knowledge on this group in the field of music and audio/video equipment. I am hoping someone can help me with this problem I have. I recently upgraded my TV to an LG OLED C3 and now I can finally listen to the Tidal streaming app. My Pioneer Elite SC-LX701 plays Dolby Atmos fine through my OPPO UDP-203 but Tidal streaming Atmos from my TV using the ARC in/out through the Pioneer AVR is not being recognized as Atmos. I played the Tidal Dolby Atmos speaker ID track to confirm it is not assigning channels properly. It doesn't see my height speakers and is combining the surround back left and right with my surround left and right. When I check status on the Pioneer, it displays "Dolby+". I have pored through the settings on both the TV and AVR and have not figured out what the problem could be.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

there's been 5 singles released steadily throughout the year from February until just last month and now the new album "Beautiful Nothing" from James McCartney is here and blow me down it's not half bad - and it's got a great Atmos mix to boot!

This may or may not be helpful but it looks like both the C3 and SC-LX701 support eARC so I would suggest using that to see if you get different results.
Also I'd suggest starting a separate thread here for further discussion of this.
