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

[fredblue]

This is you holding back?

You're the kind of hero we need, but not the kind we deserve. I often browse Reddit when I'm bored and I want to see good information downloaded into oblivion, and I frequently see complaints about using the service apps' music discovery features.

This does not apply to me because:

• This thread. I discover a lot of new songs, new artists, and even new genres here
• I have millennial kids who frequently share music with me
• I have gen z/alpha grandkids, who are starting to share music with me
• I have a stubborn refusal to give up a huge chunk of my listening time due to overly indulging myself with the music from my teen years

Seriously, thank you, @fredblue and everyone else in this thread. You all are saving me from the algorithm. Wish I could save you from the wordiness of that last bullet point. Sheesh.

you're so welcome!! it's my absolute pleasure to share any and all tracks i'm enjoying right here with you at my favourite online hangout!!! it's certainly never dull..!

there's soooo much new music coming down the pipe in Atmos, it is impossible to keep up!!

in just the last week i have added over 500 new songs in Atmos to my Apple Music Library to try out..!!! ️

Need to switch to a thread for new music that isn't in Atmos.

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

I was very excited to see Situation by Yaz on this list, but it's only in stereo, at least in the US.

That’s the problem with doing Atmos playlists as tracks can go back to stereo, got to keep on checking, I think all mine are in Atmos.

Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire. Not available in surround anywhere previously.

 

[coolerking101]

RATM - Battle of Los Angeles available as well!

 

[haikubass]

And before anyone asks, both new RATM releases were mixed by Mike Piacentini, who did Modest Mouse before.

second single from prog metal band opeth, from the forthcoming album "the last will and testament" that will be released on november 22nd.
unfortunately no steven wilson involvement on this one (they collaborated a lot in the past).

 

[selaimutiara]

yes it is.
it's not their first multichannel attempt though, in 2002 they did a 5.1 surround version of their greatest hits 'forever delayed', although it sounded more like an upmix to me.

Ow yes, you're correct. Agree, the forever delayed dvd is not really mind blowing stuff

Did he do the self titled album too? It was removed from Tidal in 360, and never replaced. Thankfully both of these new mixes are showing up on Tidal in Atmos.

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.

To each his own...but I love the mix. Even if not to the level of Atmos you wish - it is far superior to any previous stereo mix correct??

I'd like Apple to put a logo Atmos and/or lossless next to each track

Could not find any info, but it definitely fits the mixing scheme. Gonna make myself one helluva playlist out of all these three.

 

[dapaladi]

if you listen to the new cure album with headphones avoid the dolby atmos version which is terrible downmixed in stereo, and go for the hi-res lossless version instead which is mixed way much better.

i just realized that i had a setting turned on in the apple music app options that was always replacing my stereo downloads on my smartphone with the dolby atmos versions available. when the mixing is done well someone could not notice it, but in this case they were so different i had to figure out what was going on.

 

[haikubass]

Halfway towards the full album release (1/17/25), I'm quite certain Slowly, It Dawns is gonna be one of my new favorite ones. And previous two EPs by Victoria Canal, a Spanish-American singer/songwriter born in Germany, share material of similar strength.
Oh, and there's a duet with Madison Cunningham, too.

One track available now from a live recording in Munch 1994

Introducing the Arden Records label that contains a veritable feast of unheralded predominantly Atmos producing lo-fi ‘Chill” artists.

https://music.apple.com/au/label/arden-records/1686650306.

I suggest starting here:
‘A Timeless Motif - Arden and London Symphony Orchestra’

Particularly tracks-

And on artist Maono’s EP’s/singles:

.

There’s tons of uber discrete Atmos content to explore here….

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.

Feel free to list a few examples of other mixes that have done this, that would show you understood what I posted.

Please also reach out to Steven Wilson to let him know all his remix projects are "fraught with problems", given he uses the stereo mix as a baseline.

"People who want the same thing" - which part of my post says I want the same thing? Straw man fallacies are boring.
