Why Dolby Atmos?
The fact that Dolby Atmos is becoming increasingly accessible over time is, of course, exciting for anyone interested in technology, but why would you want your song mixed in the Dolby Atmos format yourself?
Think of it as an additional part of the creative process. Just as in a stereo mix you can choose whether the tambourine should be heard from the left, right, or more centered, with the Atmos format you can choose to have the tambourine slightly behind you, above you, or under the chair you’re sitting on, thanks to the enhanced 3D feeling in the sound. The format creates entirely new dimensions in music and gives you the freedom to craft an immersive story with your song.
The marketing aspect should not be forgotten either: streaming services like Apple Music and Tidal have recently begun supporting Dolby Atmos and are now on the lookout for good music mixed in the format. The chances of getting your music placed on a “Dolby Atmos playlist” are significantly higher than on the major stereo playlists, because the competition is much smaller. A wise piece of advice for all artists wanting to broaden their audience is to make sure their music is available in the new format. Since Spotify recently added support for high-resolution audio, it’s only a matter of time before they start supporting Atmos as well, and then demand is likely to rise exponentially in Sweden.
How can artists benefit from Dolby Atmos?
Imagine wanting to create a song that takes advantage of a full orchestra. In a traditional mix, you can absolutely create separation between the different sections and achieve a sense of width in the music—but now imagine being able to recreate the feeling of standing in the middle of the orchestra as a listener. Standing among the violinists with all the other musicians around you, in a realistic 3D space. Think of the possibilities this opens up for sound design in your song!
With the increased freedom in the soundscape, you can convey the emotions associated with your work in an entirely new way. As we mentioned in our previous article “What is Dolby Atmos?”, you need nothing more than a pair of regular headphones to appreciate this enhanced sense of space, even though the format is designed with larger speaker systems in mind. When you then listen to your music on a fully equipped Atmos system, all the information is there to reproduce your music through every speaker, for the ultimate listening experience.
Step into the future
With the help of Dolby, we have designed and calibrated our premium room, Studio A. The room is now one of the few certified rooms in Sweden. All speakers are from Genelec, and the remaining equipment meets the same international quality standards.
We offer Atmos-format services for music, film, TV, and games. Read more on our website or book a meeting with us where we can discuss how we can assist you.
