I for one really enjoy Dolby Atmos music...

The biggest barrier to it though is how the tracks have been optimised for the format.

- The best are faithful to the original stereo tracks, and yet add a much wider presence with subtle touches that surround you and a clear focus of the individual instruments

- The worst are the ones where the main vocal is diminished in a reverb mess

I'm looking at #DolbyAtmos music production with an actual 7.1.2 speaker setup and it looks like not only cost is unacceptable for bedroom producers, and the space requirements are rather ridiculous, but also there isn't even a clear answer to "what audio interface and monitors to buy?".

So looks like the only option for hobbyists like me is to get #Apple AirPods Max and simulate the environment with its head tracking capabilities and Logic Pro.

I admit, I found this article on #DolbyAtmos by searching for “#SpatialAudio is distracting”: nytimes.com/2023/06/21/arts/mu

The relevant quote from longtime #Prince engineer Susan Rogers: “That was what I noticed listening to ‘When Doves Cry’ in #Atmos. It sounded amazing, but it was more difficult to assemble it into a unified whole in that private place I listen to #music. I found it distracting.” Her “knee-jerk reaction was ‘do not want,’” she said. “But over time I may learn to like it.”
