Universal Music to Remix Thousands of Songs Into Dolby Atmos

[jamoke]

...as if creating an Atmos mix merely requires running stereo tapes through the Atmosizer 9000 (big, expensive black box with lots of blinking lights) —

in the words of Meg Ryan;

"yes!!

reminds me of a PDP8 I was being taught assembler coding on (6th form doing A Level computing, so pre-Uni, High School level for non-UK) circa 1974-75, I toggled in some bits of code, something didn't happen and I realised I'd crashed it! not popular as it took some time and many reels of paper tape for the operator to get it back up

.mkv can house an atmos file so not sure why atmos has to only be distributed via physical blu-ray?

Also .mka (MKV without Video) and mp4.

I don’t see any ceiling speakers for Atmos in that photo. So, don’t tell me that height speakers can’t / don’t work.

Huh?

There are six ceiling speakers in that pic.

Height speakers (upward-firing) don’t work.
I have them.

I also have upward firing...and to be quite honest.....I'm not that impressed with mine either. That said, mine could be mounted up in the corners as down firing....I just haven't figured out how to do it.

Gene when I first read about up firing speakers for Dolby Atmos I was certain they wouldn't work. Same malarkey as soundbars which promise 5.1 and now atmos. AFAIK, there are NO shortcuts.

Rocket Man!

maybe we'll get some of the unreleased EJ SACD 5.1 tracks in Atmos!? probably not but it's fun to dream!

Perhaps like we've seen old quad mixes manipulated to 5.1 (with derived center/sub channels), we'll see old 5.1 mixes manipulated to Atmos with derived height channels.

Speaker wire (big roll)
Wire cutter
Nails
Hammer
Ladder
Helmet (recommended)

And some duct tape to attach your speaker wire to a cable that you shimmy down through the wall. Then pull the whole thing up through the wall to the ceiling where your speakers are. That's how I did it in 1974.

I’ll take that please, and some Prince in Atmos too thanks.
