Hey, mixing engineer here. Some labels don’t like putting the vocals on the center channel and explicitly ask to use a more traditional phantom center (left and right channel) its not obligatory but they do recommend it. Whether its better or worst is a discussion for another time.
@ealanosborne
@ealanosborne Год назад
Thanks for your insight! Personally, I think it allows for more creativity and better channel separation when vocals are assigned to the center channel, but I get it. In the end it’s still art, so they can do as they please. 🤘🎉

I agree with the "phantom center" for vocals for the sense of space and to bring the vocals a bit forward. However, my center speaker has a much better mid-range than my same brand towers. I'm kinda bummer over that issue with my speakers. Is what it is. Please keep mixing and pushing to improve the trade. We need talented engineers to please our ears. All the best, Kevin

Universal rejects mixes that use the center. So this often just a requirement by the label, not a decision of the artist/producer/mixer. Same for the LFE channel, it only should use for FX by definition (low frequency effects).

Still a mixed bag! Some sounds incredible (Björk’s Fossora album), as it was created BY THE ARTIST with Atmos in mind. Mixers are starting to figure out what works in remasters, it seems. They have been getting better. I’d love to see a labelling system. Remember AAD on cds? How about: Recorded and mixed in atmos Mixed in Atmos Remixed manually in Atmos Remixed by AI in Atmos Upmixed into Atmos.

Re: some tracks having minimal to zero center channel vocals, I have also noticed that (on tidal also), and have concluded that it must be on purpose due to them avoiding the hard center focus that movies have … Gene from Audioholics has complained about the over active centers from Dolby & DTS upmixing

When mixing in Atmos I disregard the physical speakers and only concern myself with where in the 3D “ audio dome “ I want that object to be . I use object “ size “ extensively and place vocal objects, , particularly lead vocals , close to the listener to create intimacy of that vocal .

As you noted, it really depends on the mixer. Steven Wilson is the best. He has made atmos mixes of his own music, Tears for Fears, The Who, Van Morrison's Moondance, Yes... Check out his mix of Aha's "Take on Me." Another great mixer is Greg Penney. He has mixed most of Elton John's catalog in Atmos. His mix of "Rocketman" was considered by other mixers to be a go-to demo track for illustrating the possibilities of Atmos.

Found out a couple of days ago that Spatial audio on IOS is a 5.1 mixdown of the .ADA Dolby Atmos music file that's then upmixed to Apple Spatial. However, if you are listening on the Apple TV or macOS out to a receiver and not Airpods, it is the actual Atmos .ADA file. Tidal plays the original Atmos file no matter what you listen on. Not sure about the other streaming platforms. All that being said. The songs are mixed on a proper Atmos rig but there are two versions made. One that will play on a native .ADA Atmos file and another that will play through Apple Spatial. This is because Apple Spatial automatically adds a boost to the lows and highs. So, mixing engineers now have to submit two separate .ADA files. All this info coming from Adam Audio's channel. There's a Q&A from a recent video.

This is jut not correct. The Atmos Master File is an ADM BWF, which is a .WAV file. After that is created, it's encoded using the Dolby Media Encoder to create a 5.1+JOC for Atmos. That stands for Joint Object Coding and your AVR will see it as Lossy DD+. The master file (ADM BWF) is what is submitted to these services with an overall volume of -18 LUFS or it will get rejected.

I have 5.1.4 with Dolby Atmos enabled speakers on top of the fronts and surrounds. I can only get Atmos music from my Chromecast with Google TV and the Tidal app. So far, I have not been impressed much, listening to a variety of genres. Obviously a lot of these old songs have been upmixed rather than remixed (I’m assuming). But engineered in Atmos would probably sound a lot better.

Another solid upload Ealan - love your content. Genuine 3D audio should be when the music seems to step out of the speakers and immerse you in realistic audio. That for me is listening to say the drummer powering the entire music soundstage but from a specific point. As it would be at a gig/concert/recording. Rear/surround/height speakers should really just focus on reproducing reflections, reverb etc. So as a 7.2 multi channel film buff I will be sticking to 2 channel music play back for the foreseeable with phantom centre and broad soundstage courtesy of my very old omni directional speakers with subs.

Now that I have the Onkyo TX-NR7100 running the Klipsch Cinema Reference speakers (sans Klipsch sub swapped for a superior 12" Atlantic Technology 500W sealed sub) I just upgraded to Amazon Music Unlimited for Atmos and UHD streaming, and it didn't disappoint! I know the Kilpsch speakers aren't the best for Atmos reproduction, yet for music they've been quite fun listening and can present a quite large and immersive sound stage. I was to pleased to find an Ultra HD Atmos recording from the Danish National Symphony Orchestra (Live) of The Morricone Duel - The most dangerous concert ever!!! Easily the best renditions of Clint Eastwood westerns soundtracks (and others like KIll Bill), Italian style by the incredible Ennio Morricone.

Ok , I’m going to set some things straight for Ealan and others who do not quite grasp what’s going on with Atmos. It is not channel only based . When something appears to be coming out of the front center it is not just coming out of the center channel speaker . Each audio object ( instrument, voice , what have you) is placed in a 3 dimensional space and each space is created by incorporating several speakers to create an audio object that is in essence, a sophisticated static phantom zone placement. The stem , track , audio object is rarely ever reproduced by only one speaker . THAT is how Dolby Atmos works . Also , the mixer can increase the object size to incorporate more speakers .
@TechnoDad
@TechnoDad Год назад
Well...you're not entirly wrong, just a little bit. Sounds can be placed in a specific speaker only, that's easy. Yes, the mixer can chang the object size to have the sound come from more speakers but I don't think that is used as much as one would think. When I place an object at a speaker location, it comes out of that speaker only. If I place an object between two speakers, say between the front left and the surround left, then it will use those two speakers only to try and image that sound. If I place that object in the same place but add 50% height to it, then it will use the front left, surround left, and front height left to image that sound. So, an object can be placed in a specific speaker engaging only that one speaker.

Hi Ealan, i am just getting into hifi and am intrigued by spatial. It's great how you are describing the sounds and where they are coming from. I was curious if it sounds better as a whole in spatial. For example does Taylor 1989 sounds better when playing in spatial vs the regular trac (atmos off)

Well, since I have quite the killer surround sound setup with 4 subwoofers, I do like the sound of it better than listening on headphones or just a stereo version. But that's my subjective personal liking to it as a whole. The stereo version on its own still sounds amazing, but being able to sit in the middle of the action happening all around you is really cool with the Atmos version. 😎

I also listened to this same list a few days ago with my young kids ages 4 and 5. I generally agree with your review of the Apple Spatial Audio playlist. I was very surprised when September started playing. It was one of the best from the playlist for sure. I thought I had enough of Mariah Carey in the 90s when her songs were all over the radio but Dreamlover sounded nice and different in spatial audio. My kids and I had a fun time listening to it. You definitely should check out the spatial audio version of Everyday is a Winding Road by Sheryl Crow. I believe its further down the playlist and didn't make it to this review of yours. It's one of those songs that was so overplayed back then as well but now it sounds so good in surround format! Easily one of the best spatial audio mixes too.

@ealanosborne Exactly. Tbh I think majority of the spatial/Atmos on there is just thrown on with some simple upmix to give it an atmos effect (as you said) as it mostly doesn't sound much better than stereo. Not enough coming from the different channels and mostly sounds very weak. But one you can hear the difference is jean-michel jarre oxymore. You can actually hear sound coming out of different speakers. You can tell you are listening to multi channel audio. Sadly it's not jarre's best ever album. But you can hear that it is implemented correctly. Let's be honest if all the atmos music on there was done correctly it would be fricken awesome. It's a shame really as the apple tv box is the best I ever heard actual steaming music. Also has to be said most of the so called atmos tracks would sound better as just plain stereo tracks with one of the height fx for music on my avr. It's simply one of those things if they aren't going to put the album through a proper atmos remixing process there is no point in having it. Jmo of course.
@totalplonker824
@totalplonker824 7 месяцев назад
Unlike stereo and equipment depending, Atmos music can only be appreciated at medium to high volumes. Too much background mechanical noise (RFI), and to think the cables that carry the signal to my height channels happen to be shielded as well. Can only assume the heightened noise floor (faint background signal noise) becomes more apparent, probably cause the entry-level cables on my height channels have limited shielding. Hence, when the height channels are switched off (externally amplified poweramp), therefore going through just a five channel configuration (base-level). The noise floor comes back down to satisfactory levels, probably because, unlike the height channels, which only have limited shielding (entry-level), the shielding on my base-level speaker cables are of superior quality. Unshielded cables often act as antennas for attracting RF, and the longer the cable, the better the antenna. Probably explains why when I used to disconnect my height and surround channels within 10 minutes, the unwanted faint background signal noise used to dissipate. Maybe I should've matched cables of the same quality? Yeah, so long as I don't mind paying at least an extra £500 for the height channel cables. Conclusion; Other than listening at medium to high volumes, listening to Dolby Atmos music with quality can be rather expensive.
@elioliver5749
@elioliver5749 23 дня назад
IMO as far as surround music mixes are concerned, Dolby Atmos is overhyped considering we've had immersive surround sound with 5.1 SACDs/ DVD-As for 20 years. However, the quality of the experience relies heavily on the surround sound engineer's expertise. One exceptional 5.1 mix I've heard placed the lead vocals in the phantom center of a circle, creating an incredible effect. To achieve this, I positioned myself equidistant from five identical speakers, calibrated my AVR for uniform distance, and found the sweet spot by moving my head until the lead vocals seemed to emanate from the center of my head, not just the front center. This effect requires the mixer to assign lead vocals to all five speakers, not just the center one, which is why optimal surround mixes often have lead vocals coming from all speakers. However, inexperienced listeners may question this approach, unaware that they need to be in the calibrated sweet spot to appreciate the phantom center effect.

That's mostly what I've experienced, yeah. But there are those few songs that have actual discrete information in the heights - like that hi hat in the rear right height of Dreamlover by Mariah Carey. Or the vocoder vocal section of Get Lucky by Daft Punk. Definitely some discrete audio in the heights going on. But overall, yeah - heights are often used for expanding the soundstage up more, adding more reverb and reflections into the mix to have it seem more like a live performance.

I no longer have an Apple TV, but I checked Amazon to see what they support, and it looks like Amazon music also has Atmos support: _Amazon Music offers a wide variety of music formats. In addition to standard definition (SD) audio, some tracks in the Amazon Music catalog are available in high-definition (HD) and ultra-high-definition (UHD) lossless formats. Amazon Music even offers spatial audio in Dolby Atmost and Sony 360 RA formats. Please note that not every audio track is available in all formats. Only standard definition (SD) is available for the Free and Prime subscription tiers._ I cannot wait to get a 9+ channel AVR (I'm not so patiently waiting for a black Friday deal....hopefully not wishful thinking) to get this setup and check it out. It sounds like I need to make sure it also supports IMAX now that Disney+ is supporting it.

Well, Disney+ said back in January that they would support a streaming version of DTS audio sometime in 2023. That deadline is almost upon us. 😭 So for now, they still only support IMAX video/aspect ratio.

@@ealanosborne That's a real bummer BUT I still think it's worth getting an AVR that supports IMAX. I've been watching Star Wars Ahsoka on Disney+ and I have to say that even on my current old Dennon 1611 AVR in 5.1 it sounds incredible. It has to be amazing in Atmos or DTS:X in 5.2.4. I recently watched the Mark Wahlberg Planet of the Apes 50th Anniversary BluRay in HD with lossless 5.1 audio and I wasn't blown away with it's audio, I should have been in some of the scenes, but it was just okay.

Most immersive music is mixed in a quad like manner to mimic the old style of immersive audio. Most do not have great center channel speakers and are at times better to use left and right to create the center stage with the actual center to support/fill in the gap. To get the vocals to center remove the back atmos and surrounds in the settings, or form your speakers in an 180 degree curve with speakers closer with the center in small setting but cranked up for poorly mixed tracks. Older 5.1 tracks sound better in this set up epsecially if all the speakers are identical (center included) but doing this until they improve atmos, this will give you an AC3 sound like the old days but wil give you a great wall of sound that mimics live music being played.
@avh700
@avh700 Год назад
PS For people serious about atmos music, some speakers are for home theater(ie old THX speakers) . When at all possible, use another set of hifi speakers that are the identical model for music (same watts per channel) even matching the atmos speakers as much as possible. Be able to move your speakers around for diffent mixes and settings (AC3, Quad/4.0 ,5.1, 6.1/DTSES, Auro 3D/7,9,11, etc) for the best results. Tactile bass shakers slightly dialed in takes it to the next level. Reply

I absolutely love and geek out over audio and music but a lot of music is at 440hz frequency which can negatively affect human brains. I just use a audio ripper and get the song in Flac audio and convert it to 432hz and sometimes put it through my equalizer if I notice the vocals aren’t clean as apples hi ress lossless quality.

I HIGHLY reccomend using Tidal instead of Apple. Apple Music “Spatial Audio” renderer technology operates using an outdated Dolby codec, whilst Tidal uses the Dolby-manufactured and approved renderer technology that takes the audio and converts it to whatever format you have. Sound quality is much better.

Spatial Audio from Apple music doesn't output in Atmos from Apple music app on my LG Tv.. Also doesn't output atmos on any of my android devices. Best for me is Amazon music which is half the price of tidal and has similar atmos and 360 content. Although Amazon music has its own issues.

I have listened to ' September' by EWF after seeing your contribution above. I was looking forward to be emerged. Usiing a USD 80.000 audio set I was expecting a lot. First I looked for the album but I could only find this specific song within ' Apple spatial audio' so I assume this is the one you mean unless the catalogue is different in Europe. I listened to it after ' Point' by Yello which I allready said sounds incredible. Back to 'September' I managed to listen to it for 15 seconds. It sounded horrible. No tight base vocals likei in the bathroom etc. Did I use the wrong release. It is not my set because as I said ' Yello' sounds superb. Hope to hear
@ealanosborne

Often the artist/label/publisher specifically request that the vocals NOT be in the center channel. I’m not exactly sure what the concern is, but it has to do with the ability to extract the vocals from the rest of the mix… perhaps it’s too revealing of the extreme manipulation employed to make them sound good. Or, discouraging the easy creation of karaoke versions. I don’t know, but it’s a thing.
@ealanosborne
@ealanosborne Год назад
Yeah. To each their own when it comes to the mixing engineer. But still…seems like if you have that freedom of separating the vocals, why not do it? But I understand it’s an artistic choice as well. 🤷‍♂️
@BeefyMon
@BeefyMon Год назад
@@ealanosborne I think you miss my point… it’s exactly the opposite of an artistic choice. It’s a pragmatic desire to intentionally and *specifically* make sure that the vocals cannot be extracted or separated from the mix as a whole (I.e by tapping ian AVR’s analog pre-outs).
@BeefyMon

Just a consumer here. Atmos for music is the devil. Total garbage. I will stay with my 4.1 system. When really listening to music just stereo with a well added sub to get those lush extreme lows (not a fart box). Haven't heard you say anything about the height speakers isn't that what Atmos adds? So these songs can be done easily with DTS. In the end there really isn't going to be a lot of people wanting to dich their 5.1 or 7.1 or 11.2 home theatre systems to go to Atmos. Atmos for theatres good for that 2 hours but that is it. Don't drink the Apple juice.
