This is the game changer moment I've been waiting for, playing Atmos with proper dedicated speakers but without the surround receiver and without the Apple TV nonsens.

Keep the Atmos content coming as far as I’m concerned! But it would be good if you linked the David Stagl article in the video description as well, for a more in depth explanation of this loophole. For some systems there might be extra steps that need to be taken for the method to work properly.

The Doors - Riders On The Storm (and whole LA Woman album) has been done for spatial really great listening especially with all the chat at the beginning from Jim and the band!

Thank you for making this accessible to us mere mortals!

[davidstagl]

Thank you for mentioning me and the article I wrote!

I found that if you start the playlist with the red play block in the very top of the playlist, it will in fact play it in Atmos. If you try clicking any one of the individual tracks, then it defaults back to stereo like described in the video, however, if you start the playlist, then click the FF button at the top' and skip through the songs one at a time, whatever song you stop on will play in Atmos, as shown by the Dolby logo displayed in the track description window. Saved me a little time listening through tracks I want to hear without hunting them down through the respective artist page.

Hoping someday that Apple will iron out some of the bugs in the player, sooner than later.
I spent the better part of 2 months deep diving into Apple Music once I figured out how to get it though all my 7.1.4 speakers in my studio, of course Rocket Man and Hans Zimmer Dune were notables for me, appreciate the other suggestions as I hadn't heard them yet.
Love the channel, keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for these videos and the tracks linked below. I didn’t realise I could listen to atmos mixes on my iPhone and loved being steered to these mixes - awesome. Wow. Cheers, Benno

[seazenbones]

I’m so happy to have found your channel. You have a new subscriber. I appreciate the range of subjects you both cover and the way you communicate in a manner I understand. My ‘Bull-shit’ detector hasn’t moved out of rhe green, so far. Keep up the good work.

I don’t agree with those unsubbing, this is a very valid format. How it evolves is really a question mark though. You can use headphones and I do, I can’t afford to add much to my Amphions at the moment. I think the dynamic range is confusing listeners a bit, they are used to that in the face squeeze that is more apparent in standard stereo. Let’s see where it goes, I still feel I’m missing out a lot without the true multi speaker experience, and the bigger hurdle is how this will continue to translate onto the small portables. I’ve had fun in Logic on just headphones though - but what would your focus be on now? Mix in Dolby Atmos on headphones, send to a mastering engineer specialising in Atmos, or continue to learn standard stereo?

Way to prove youR professional credibility in one video! (re-)Subscribed!

[tutubeos]

Wow! Thank you guys! Also thanks for the copyright-free dune pictures 😄👍🏼

[springV]

This video saved me 5K. I was just about to buy a receiver before I saw this video. Thanks!

[Jrscarratt]

Omg I just had a great idea!! You should go back to the church where you recorded the organ and do an atmos recording of it!!

[jamesthompson]

Thanks for this video 😎 what multi o/p interface is the most user friendly for atmos as explained in you video and may you could do a video of from unbox, plug in and then play for us new to this many thanks

[CheapoCardCompany]

Yes... yes... but, can you dance around the room to all this... or are you rooted to the spot, lest the mix risks sounding wrong?



Other songs written to be mixed in Atmos:
- ABBA - Money Money Money.
- Russ Abbot - Atmosphere.
- Arrows - Touch Too Much.
- The Beatles - Here There and Everywhere.
- (Soundtrack album) - It’s Complicated.

[billesposito]

[matbell]

Thanks guys....I’m currently sifting through Apple Music on the iPad (current iOS) listening to anything that takes my atmos fancy....erm have you done fleetwood macs rumours through your system yet? It’s a friggin treat through my dt880’s

1 thing about atmos i dont like is the files and requirements are very large compared to stereo therefore i dont see this coming out in physical form thats collectible like vinyl or cd was. more importantly this could mean the only way to consume new music will be through online subscription platforms. that puts a lot more control back into the hands of the labels that artists have been gaining lately.
