Introducing Dolby Atmos for Apple Music

Starting today, BBN Music artists can upload songs mixed in Dolby Atmos® to Apple Music

For artists, Dolby Atmos is a new way to think about mixing: Instead of panning tracks left-ish and right-ish as a typical stereo mix, with Atmos each track is its own “object” that you can move around 3D space during the mixing process.

Dolby Atmos sounds cool with full Atmos multi-speaker setups — and also with regular stereo (2-channel) headphones & speakers, too. Spatial Audio on Apple Music helps make this possible.

To mix your tracks with Atmos, download the Dolby Atmos Music Panner VST plugin for your DAW, and/or Dolby Atmos Production Suite. Info here.

After you upload, your Atmos tracks will go live on streaming services that support it — and will be regular 2-channel on platforms that don’t.

Your release will get a special “Dolby Atmos” logo on Apple Music too, which is cool.
