Listening to in Dolby Atmos Streaming, via Tidal/Apple/Amazon

is synthesized-studio-reverb model nice way of saying Upmix?

No--it's a technique pioneered by Dave Rideau and Steve Genewick for Kind of Blue (and, as far as I can tell, routinely used on many classic Blue Note recordings), that involves playing back the stereo or three-channel masters over speakers, live in a studio, recording that playback with mics in the back of the room, and applying digital reverbs meant to replicate the sound of the studio where the album was originally recorded. It gives a sense of spaciousness to the recording, but obviously it results in a different kind of "immersion" than an object-based Atmos mix.

Not yet on Tidal as far as I can tell.

Avatar 2 soundtrack. Contains a song from The Weeknd. Speaking of the weekend, I just nabbed tickets for a 9:10 am (so fewer people will be there) High-Frame-Rate 3D and Atmos* showing on Saturday. I know the reviews are… middling… but I still wanna see it.

*Fandango does not mention if this theater is Atmos or not, unlike other places which do mention if they are Atmos or DTS:X equipped. I did call them and they said it’s “probably” Atmos

0 usage of height channels is a bummer

Sweet Caroline would like to have a word with you...

New on Tidal this morning:

The Police - Greatest Hits [Dolby Atmos] ID: 265353806

Looking forward to finally having a true MCH mix of the original version of De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da.

Hopefully they started from scratch with these!

 

[The Bright Side]

Not sure this was ever mentioned as available on Apple. Great Atmos mixes...

Bought this and his Retrospective album back when he first issued them through his own web shop. Highly recommended.

I threw some of these into Audacity to listen to what was isolated in centre and rears. I haven't had a chance to listen to everything yet but I can confirm it's definitely a new multi-channel mix for So Lonely (compared to the DD version in the videos collection) and a different Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic mix with cool near-isolation of the piano parts in the rears. I thought the previous multi channel mix was messier. Re Every Breath You Take, it is also new, but I thought the SACD mix was superior to the new one and the previous available DD and DTS mixes. It's great to have all these mixes to choose from!

I wholeheartedly second this - it's a workout!

Very excited to see this new album by Little Simz, and eager to hear it. Her 2021 album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, was fabulous (and had a great Atmos mix). And over the last year or so I've gotten way into the prolific musicians' collective that she hangs with, SAULT.

Ooo--this could be good. Love Nino Rota:

I was looking forward to this and the mix seems to be good, however it's plagued by a droning sound throughout the whole album on Apple. Is it the same on Tidal?

I finally found the right guy to talk to. The album has been fixed and is streaming in Atmos, without the time code in the center channel.

Nicely done! (And who is this guy? If he can make things happen, then a bunch of us might like to get his number.... )

Now find the right guy to talk to about Psychobabble...

I'll get it done.

And it is so much better of course as a result.

This cover of the 90’s anthem had me captivated:

It starts with the most peculiar pulsing beats, and is initially quite front heavy but after a minute or so unravels like a christmas present to something quite smooth and airy by the end.

It is like Kurt Cobain joined Daft Punk.

Oh, and I don’t agree that it’s an upmix.

Tidal lets one download the songs to throw into Audacity?

Could not find this in Atmos in Norway, only stereo. The ID gives no result.

I was never a fan of any of the previous Police multichannel mixes. After first go of this new mix, I wasn't all that impressed, compared to some of the recent releases. Certainly isn't terrible but could be better.

Try this in Tidal. Search for 'the police'. Choose 'the police' under artists. Choose 'popular songs'. Choose 'show all'. Scrool to the bottom and you find the songs with atmos tag. Tap the three dots and choose 'Go to album'. There it is!
