when spatial audio came to apple music i thought it was just a gimmick and something that is more likely to ruin an album or track then enhance it…but now almost two years later i actually think this might be the future of music.

what’s y’all opinion on it and what albums do you think sound better in it?

The magic been wore off of me
S*** just makes it quieter for no reason

I don't like to use it by default but when the music is actually recorded properly and then mixed by someone who knows what they're doing it's a beautiful experience. the recent Beatles remixes are all unreal. Moanin by art Blakey too, definitely check that one out

you have to activate soundcheck for it to work properly

Only worth anything when listening in an atmos setup with all the monitors around you. The studio I intern at has one, it’s a cool listening experience. Not practical enough to be the new audio gimmick for any old enthusiast though

Dumb

good when used correctly

Mostly its ass or just overall doesnt match the original record, the mileage varies widely

It’s on

Keep

Most of it is pretty good

Loyal to AM but it’s a gimmick feature that ruins music

I'm not a fan of spatial audio, but Dolby is cool if you have a legit 5.1 surround sound system to listen to it on. If you're just using it on some headphones it's not going to make sense.

Moanin is such a great record, Blakey was a master

Flower Boy sounds like a new album in Dolby

greatest drummer of all time

too quiet

He's up there, I'd throw Pete Sandoval and Mike Smith in that discussion

Atmos is amazing
