Listening to Now (In Dolby Atmos)

[EricKalet]

I have been absolutely unable to find Elton John's Rocketman in Atmos.

Go here: Elton John - Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long, Long Time)

or to my playlist for Rocket Man Atmos Mixes - Eric's selections

Selena Gomez
Hands To Myself

So much music I have never heard before.
Another splendid mix, and the tune is good too!!

Thanks Eric, I really appreciate all of your links.

For anyone trying to quickly add Eric's playlists, here's the method that has worked best for me.
1. Log in to Tidal on your PC
2. Click the link to one of Eric's playlists.
3. Underneath where it says, play on Tidal, click on the link that says "Open on Desktop App."
4. The text will change to "Open on our Web App." Click that.
5. The playlist should now be open in your account. If you click on the heart icon next to shuffle, the playlist will be added to your account and you can access it on Fire TV, AppleTV, etc.

Can we please stop with saying “mastering”?

Just because everyone at Atmos is afraid to call them what they are doesn’t mean we have to perpetuate the dishonesty. “Mastering” is used to describe using a different source tape or playing with the EQ. Except for a few fakes, these are MIXES from the original multitrack sources. Probably “remix” is more apt, but today that carries an unwanted connotation of changed or added content.

Heres Elton Rocket Man enjoy

Alien Ant Farm
Smooth Criminal

Great track

 

[beerking]

Oh and playing Beck again
His Prince medley is brilliant

Yeah it's a great one! I've just stuck it on too! Raspberry Beret>When Doves Cry>Kiss>1999

Here's a video of them making it... Be cool if you could see it with Atmos?!

 

[MrSmithers]

Rush - Tom Sawyer



There's some really cool keyboard movements around the room... Recently watched Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage on Netflix which I enjoyed and made me understand the band a lot more...

Great to have this in Atmos! Great to rock out to and the squeaky vocals sound even better!

 

[Goona]

This sounds incredible 12 tracks in ATMOS

 

[northernsoul]

Max Cooper Emergence. Could have been shorter IMO, but nice mixes.

Is it better than the 5.1 mix? Is it a GREAT mix, or an OK mix? RUSH fans need to know, lol!

IMO yes it’s better but no it’s not better. @edisonbaggins will have a good take on this

Pros: more surround/immersive, drum kit across L/C/R rather then dead center on dvd-a

Cons: less punch on the low end bass
Lot of reverb maybe too much would have preferred more discrete in surrounds

Yeah - I'd say so... It's probably somewhere in between great and ok?! It's doesn't have the full room drum pans like Steven Wilson's mix on AFTK, but the keyboard movements towards the end of the track are really cool! You might get a wiser answer from a proper Rush head like @edisonbaggins?

Edit - Ha duplicated answer!

My assessment, after several listens, is "uggggh"...

They made Peart's snare sound like a trash can lid. The toms sound different too. I think the remix engineer used a favorite reverb plugin, rather than trying to match the original sound. Unforgivable.

It's basically the same approach as the 5.1. Main band parts up front, synths favoring the rears.
The Atmos doesn't really have anything unique going on. Just makes everything BIGGER in the room. Not necessarily a good thing.
I prefer Chycki's 5.1 and those that know me well know that I'm not a Chycki fanboi.

Its amazing how good the old songs sound in Atmos. Higher Love Stevie Windwood

[MrSmithers]

Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone ☎



Sounding a lot better than the first time I heard it? I've whacked up the volume quite a lot and cracked open a beer though... Intro ringing tone comes in from the rear right... Not bad...

Anybody knows how quickly Tidal will add more songs?. For instance GYBR and a lot of other Elton work is already done?.
