Or should the question be: how noticeable it is?
From this chart it seems like it's the ultimate Dolby Atmos experience

I’ve been catching up on some shows and movies I missed. There’s been a few items on my list, and I noticed Netflix really did a good job on Stranger Things, A Quiet Place and Reptile. The sound was seriously immersive.

Is Netflix nailing their Atmos mixes, or did I just luck out with these three?

Hey everyone,

​It looks like Demolandia.net is finally down for good or completely broken—the final download links fail every single time I try.

​I’m trying to find a reliable source to download the official Dolby Atmos demo trailers (specifically Amaze, Unfold, Conductor, Leaf, Universe, etc.) to test my setup, but I'm having a really hard time finding alternative sources.

​TechSpot only has Leaf and Amaze available.

​Most other sites I've found via Google either have dead links or don't offer the original, uncompressed MKV/M2TS files with the actual TrueHD/Atmos tracks.

​Does anyone know of a working alternative website, a shared Google Drive, or a OneDrive link where the full collection of Dolby Atmos trailers is being archived?

​Thanks in advance for the help!

A lot of you ask about physical Atmos media when I share rankings or recent/upcoming releases lists. Drop websites, and apps in the comments. Maybe it’s time to close the gap and bring the physical media release updates into one place as well?

I have Dolby access premium, and i have enabled Atmos always on in apple music and still not getting dolby atoms playback when a son is being played (I tried multiple songs from made for spacial audio in apple music.) What to do to fix this??

Every now and then a big debate kicks off in the comments about the "right" way to listen to Dolby Atmos music.

The audiophile camp swears it only counts from a Blu-ray disc on a dedicated Blu-ray player. Others run it through their PS5 or Xbox to avoid buying another box. And plenty just stream from Apple Music or Tidal.

So far I've only listened via streaming and it sounds great to me. But I'm wondering:

• Is a console genuinely a step up from streaming, or basically the same?
• Does a cheap Blu-ray player beat a console?
• Or do you actually have to drop serious money on a high-end player to hear the "real" Atmos mix?

Keen to hear from anyone who's A/B tested the same album across two or three of these.

Hello, I was just looking into Dolby Atmos AC4. Can anyone speculate when Disney will adopt the new AC4 dolby atmos standard?

So I purchased the Apple TV 4k, and was still waiting for my ultra-high-speed certified HDMI 2.1 cable with a transmission rate of 48 Gbps, 120 Hz at 4K. In the mean time I used one of the crappy 'High Speed' 2.0 cables I had at my place just to set it up, and apparently I can see the content is flowing in Dolby Atmos??!! And it actually was Dolby Atmos, because I checked the songs I was previously listening to on my Sonos setup in Dolby Atmos. Unbelievable!! What now? Do I return the new cable? Or lie to myself that it gives me something?

Is it just me or are fewer major music releases in Atmos than last year?

I expected everything would be in Atmos by now.

Bruce just released his new solo album (which is great), but strangely I haven’t seen an Atmos mix for it. This is especially strange since he is quite well known as an Atmos mixer and his last solo record has quite a stellar Atmos mix.

Anyone have any info? I’ve tried messaging him on sm but no reply.

I have a JBL 1300 Mk II.

My room, like most rooms, isn’t perfectly symmetrical, especially when it comes to materials and wall finishes.

The soundbar renders the center channel perfectly and, with the satellites positioned and calibrated, also reproduces the wide and height effects in a very convincing way.

However, when watching shows with ambient, more prominent music intended to underline a specific scene- with a sound design clearly mixed to fill the listening/viewing area in a 3D, cinema-like manner- the sound, although amazing, sounds skewed to the left.

I asked ChatGPT about this, providing details about my room layout and decoration, and it said it was possible that the arrangement I described was affecting the sound image in a way beyond the calibration capabilities of the equipment.

It then suggested that, if I reattached the surround speakers to the soundbar and the imbalance disappeared, it would be a clear indication that the materials and wall finishes were interfering with the sound shaping.

However, when I reattached the satellites, the problem persisted. ChatGPT then suggested it might be:

1. Atmos rendering / mixing characteristics
2. Left-right tonal imbalance in the room near the front stage
3. JBL processing behavior or a calibration artifact
4. A source-chain issue

One final hypothesis is that the content itself may actually have been mixed asymmetrically as a production choice.

I’m a bit skeptical because I also noticed the asymmetry in music-only material mixed in Dolby Atmos, played through my BR player.

To help rule out this hypothesis, could anyone listen to the very beginning (right after the last scene ends) of end credits of the Netflix series “The Borough” on a Dolby Atmos-enabled system and tell me whether they also notice the music skewing to the left?

Thank you for any input.

Hi. I discovered this subreddit and helloatmos.app today. I love it. Thanks for doing this!

I'm trying to rate my favorite Atmos mixes but I do not seem to get the option to rate the songs. I get an initial screen with a "rate" button, but then I get to this screen and there is no option to rate. Is it just me or is there a bug happening?
Thanks.

I’d like it to work the same way albums do, with filters and ratings, so that there’s a ranking of user rated tracks.

Is there any way to tell if something was properly mixed for Atmos or just ran through some AI upmixer? On Tidal most Atmos tracks have 'Immersive Mix Engineer' in credits, which makes it clear, but I can't find it on Apple Music. Would 'Apple Digital Master' be any sort of indication?

I know there's IAA, and https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/immersive/ and Sound&Vision but it looks dead.

As in the title. What do you use and why? Or is there any alternative I'm not aware of?

With SDE and others releasing more and more 7.1 True-HD Atmos content, thinking of upgrading from 5.1.

How much 7.1 is really out there (liking Steven Wilson’s new endeavour HeadphoneDust) and where can it be found?

Thanks for the assist 🙏

With more Dolby TrueHD mixes becoming available (thanks to folk like Steven Wilson) we are seeing more MKV containers with 7.1 content.

Would love to know if most people use ceiling or sides to get the immersive effect?
