I have some AirPods that can do spacial audio, and I’ve yet to hear a track where I was like, “oh wow, that added so much!”
I might be a weirdo with faulty ears but spatialized audio makes huge difference to me on AirPods Pro 2. Hand-made Dolby Atmos mixes don’t offer much over that though tbh.
Maybe it’s my hardware, too. I have first gen AirPods Pro, and the spacial music simply hasn’t been impressive on them.
Nah, I have the 2nd gen and it just ruins music. The effect is somewhat interesting with some movies, but I mostly just stick with pure stereo.
@tartan @garretble I have the AirPods Max, and it’s really noticeable, but depends on what the sound engineer wanted us to hear, basically.
Gojira. Their song sounds amazing in Atmos.
I use Logic Pro to make music, which allows you to mix in Atmos. Maybe I’ll give this a try in one of my future releases. I’m not sure how I can get the atmos format into Apple Music though, since it needs to be uploaded via distributor, and distributors push your music to all platforms at the same time.
