Dolby Atmos / Spatial Audio Mixing & Mastering
“This is a completely new way to create and experience music, freeing artists to be more expressive and experimental with their recordings. Dolby Atmos Music envelops the listener, bringing you inside the music and creating a visceral ‘wow.’”

DOLBY ATMOS / SPATIAL AUDIO 2 TRACK MIXES ON SPOTIFY
These are just some of my Dolby Atmos / Spatial Audio 2 track mixes on Spotify. These songs are all renders from the Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 master mix. I picked Spotify since at this time, it does not support Dolby Atmos files. My Spatial Audio (also called 3D binaural 2 track) audio files are all mixed specifically to play anywhere a standard stereo mix plays and they are mastered to Apple Digital Master specs. By doing this, these mixes are now available world wide and can be enjoyed with any pair of headphones and stereo speakers. If you’re only hearing samples, please log into your Spotify account or CLICK HERE.
Why Dolby Atmos?
Dolby Atmos has been evolving quietly in the background for the past few years. I have been watching this take form to the point where it has now become a reality, currently being supported by Amazon Music HD and Tidal. And as of 6/21, Apple Music is NOW supporting Dolby Atmos with their Spatial Audio. Many artists in multiple genres have embraced this new immersive format such as The Beatles (Abbey Road Anniversary Edition), Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Billy Eilish to Bing Crosby and MANY more!! And there are now Dolby Atmos / Spatial Audio playlists on Apple Music, Amazon HD and Tidal HiFi that range from Jazz, R&B, Country, Hip Hop to Pop and others. Read More…
Here are just a few of the Country Pop artists that have already embraced Dolby Atmos.

If you subscribe to Apple Music, you can listen to available tracks in Dolby Atmos, which creates an immersive, three-dimensional (spatial) audio experience on stereo headphones or built-in speakers.

In my opinion, Spatial Audio is Apple’s interpretation of Dolby’s 3D binaural metadata settings, which the producer/engineer manually assigns for each track during a mix. Currently, Spatial Audio on Apple Music is not set up to read these manual assignments (off/near/mid/far) so therefore, it’s the listener’s personal choice if they want to listen with Spatial Audio or listen as the music was intended to be heard, in pure Stereo or Dolby Atmos. But regardless of choice, having Dolby Atmos available to us as music Producers and Engineers, is a huge step forward for our industry, the creatives and all of our listeners!
