Listening to Now (In Dolby Atmos)

[northernsoul]

Anybody knows how quickly Tidal will add more songs?. For instance GYBR and a lot of other Elton work is already done?.

10,000 to be done by end of this year!

That won’t happen.

Thanks to Goona , listening to Shawn Mendes
It is good too.
Great use of front and rear heights.

In fact, I would put this in the top 5 of Atmos music I've played so far, through Tidal

Sue those mofos then because that is what they are saying

Max Cooper Emergence. Could have been shorter IMO, but nice mixes.

Just played it too,really love track 10.

I usually start at track 10 and then listen to the end.

Still going through the various offerings on Tidal Atmos tracks.

Another good mix is Alesso's 4 tracks.

Nice subby action on track 'Sumr Camp'

Didn't know that Jay-Z owns Tidal along with a few other interested parties, including his wife Beyoncé.
Just read his wiki write up....he is nobody's fool!!

Your right just listening to Alesso sounds great

Super Bad - James Brown



This in essence is a great mix, but for some reason the vocals are in the rear channels?! Just like Rufus - Tell Me Something Good... It's a bit annoying and self descriptive in my book, because this has the potential to be absolutely fantastic... There's some great moments where the sax moves around all the speakers. Maybe it's a bus error that can be corrected? Odd that they would only do 2 songs this way?

 

[beerking]

Mind you I would have known that JAY-Z owns Tidal if I had watched this earlier;



Great to see Mike and Eric having a cool chat about this Tidal streaming.

My wife just asked what am I watching, as she entered my little sanctuary and saw a pic of Selena Gomez ...ahem
By the way, great tracks and mix.
And straight into my top 5 Atmos albums.

It sure is an enigma Will. I know I said I can live with it in an earlier post, as the mix is great overall. I don't remember a mix with vocals predominately coming from the rears.
Maybe the engineer felt it got folks attention....dunno

Like a total knobhead - I started crawling on all fours listening to the speakers as this track was playing. It's not a front vs rears swap - the fronts have most of the music... Just a bit peculiar to have JB at the back?! It still better then the stereo... That's for sure!

May be the surround mix engineer had previously worked on pantomimes..........

It's because of situations like this that I humbly suggest all current AVR manufacturers revive the '70s front/rear balance slider!

You are not alone Will,
This old fart is sometimes standing on a step stool to make sure this Tidal Atmos really is coming out of the heights!!
As I ain't got my lugholes fully trained to this new streaming phenomena yet.
And by the way it sure is.
Talk about being in Dolby Atmos heaven!!

Still going....

3 tracks, sound great to me.
Mixed by Mills Logan

Finally this session:
Some deep south, country cousin tunes...
Florida Georgia Line
Another good mix by Mills

I don't remember a mix with vocals predominately coming from the rears.

I can't think of any modern 5.1's, but some there were some '70s quads that had the vocals in the rears. Two examples would be The Blackbyrds' "Walking In Rhythm" and Deep Purple's "Space Truckin'" (the USA CD-4 quad mix).

Go here: Elton John - Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long, Long Time)

or to my playlist for Rocket Man Atmos Mixes - Eric's selections

I have been reading all the Atmos threads and very jealous of you guys.
I have Tidal and firestick and I can see everything is ready to play and all the playlists but, I don’t have an Atmos speaker set up, before end of this year I hope to.
Question: I will probably go 5.2.4 and I fear the ceiling speakers, not for putting them in and doing the work, but they do not move of course you know that.
Looking at the Dolby website it shows the 4 ceiling being slightly behind and slightly in front of the listening position.
Is this your guys experience also?

Markie, since you have a Bowers and Wilkins speaker system, these little dandies which come with brackets and can be angled might be just the trick.

Have them in my bedroom with a B&W sub and they sound really nice and project a soundstage way beyond the actual speaker itself. Come in white/black.
