How Do I Upload Dolby Atmos Audio to Apple Music & Tidal? 0 0

What is Dolby Atmos?

Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio format that empowers music creators to design new experiences for listeners by precisely positioning audio channels within a three-dimensional sound field. Dolby Atmos opens up an entirely new palette for creative exploration beyond the conventional, two-channel audio limitations, providing clarity, space, and depth.

Where can I deliver Dolby Atmos?

Omziki delivers Dolby Atmos to Apple Music & Tidal, who plays it back to listeners in their proprietary Spatial Audio technology. This creates an even more immersive soundscape through compatible Apple products that use dynamic head-tracking for a ‘theater-like’ experience. Click here to learn how to listen to Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos on Apple Music.

How much does it cost to deliver Dolby Atmos?
