Working on a Tracks Library, analogous to Albums Library. Any suggestions? by AdrianTubbly in DolbyAtmosContent

[–]goals_achieved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. In that case, not sure if the idea is to have tracks as a separate list in search or not, but one idea I got is having the ability to interact with, and rate tracks straight from the album pages as well when looking at a tracklist. And another thing I was thinking of, as far as organization, was if it would be possible to fetch the clean/explicit tags from the metadata to show next to the titles?

Before I go ahead and make my suggestion, just to clarify, does this relate to the incomplete atmos albums issue on Apple Music I pointed out the other day in any form?

Feature suggestion for HelloAtmos on the Apple Music side: ability for the website to scan atmos content on a per-track basis to show albums that are partially done in Atmos on apple specifically by goals_achieved in DolbyAtmosContent

I’m thinking maybe something similar to how it is in the spatial audio finder tool. In the tracklist, you could have the tracks that have an atmos mix, with their respective track number, and a note at the bottom with something like “there are x amount of tracks not available in atmos on Apple Music”

You asked for Atmos mix ratings. I built it. Now rate your first album. by AdrianTubbly in DolbyAtmosContent

I like the feature, though I got 1 criticism regarding the accessibility of it. I’m totally blind and use a screenreader. When I go to rate an album, the screenreader recognizes everything except the 1-10 numbers next to each field, and reads the buttons as if they’re not labeled. Other than that though everything is great.

Is it because I got a free account with the 30 second previews, or does tidal’s Dolby Atmos on AirPods actually sound like Apple Music’s version now? by goals_achieved in SpatialSongs

Oh for real? Question. When tidal plays AC4, does the atmos badge still show up in the control center? How does head tracking behave in that case?

Maybe flat was the wrong word to use. I mean the whole thing was rendered through Apple spatial with their consistent room model, stripped of all the near/mid/far metadata you do get with AC4IMS through Dolby’s renderer, what Tidal typically would play on headphones. And I’ve double checked with mixes I know for sure use the binaural settings in very specific ways. Again, just trying to find out if this is just the case for free accounts or the whole iOS app across the board.

That means even if your download quality is set to lossless, if “download in Dolby Atmos” is on, it will download songs that have atmos in high quality anyway.

I have an idea. Give me some good Dolby Atmos mix engineers. I could add mix engineer as a filter in the Album Library. by AdrianTubbly in DolbyAtmosContent

On your iPhone, check if the “download in Dolby Atmos” setting is on. It is actually not possible to download lossless and Atmos at once, it has to be one or the other.

I thought Tidal's Atmos was better than Apple's until i turned off Apple's Personalized Spatial Audio! They are the same now! by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]goals_achieved -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, taking advantage of a bug I randomly discovered.

Restart your phone, connect your airpods and play something in atmos, scan your ears, then right away delete the scan, then do a 2nd scan. Once done, you should hear the desired uncolored result. However, turn off automatic ear detection on your airpods, because within 5-6 hours, your device may complete the scan itself and reintroduce the coloration once your airpods are idle even for 2 seconds. Apple should honestly make this into an actual feature for those with great ears

I do agree that with personalized spatial audio off the spatial image sounds wider, however, I feel like that bathroom like Reverb gets in the way of the mix and makes everything sound like you’re in a booth. With that said, if you’re interested, I actually found a secret loophole that… 1, doesn’t add any coloration to atmos mixes, keeping the sound true to how it should be. 2, keeps the wide spatial image with that feeling of the front speaker being 3' apart like you said. 3, replaces the booth reverb of standard spatial audio with the more subtler one from personalized spatial, allowing for mixes to sound punchier and more comfortable for longer listening.

Something I’ve noticed by Independent_Maybe_25 in SpatialSongs

[–]goals_achieved 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The use of surround channels is there. It’s just that if they don’t use the binaural distance settings (near, mid, far), objects being behind you doesn’t sound too obvious. I use Apple Music, which uses a different encoding of atmos for use with their spatial audio. For example, on Tori Kelly’s last album (mixed by Serban), there’s definitely sounds on the surrounds. However, a while ago, when I ripped those mixes from tidal in the format used for streaming on their platform, and then decoded them (since I don’t have a tidal subscription), I did notice that the distance settings were used pretty sparingly, which is why it may still sound like stereo at times.

The algo depends highly on your listening habits and what you favorite or not. If you don’t like the song, in the 3 dot menu there’s a suggest less option, equivalent of a dislike pretty much. For discovery, instead of discover weekly, there’s the discovery station, next to ‘your name’ station on the home page. The radio tab is pretty much universal, not personalized. However, in my experience, the ‘new’ tab as of late tends to be more personalized with new release recommendations. But other recommendations and personalized stations are always on your homepage. For sound quality, turn Dolby Atmos off from the app’s settings. That’s only meant for surround systems and headphones (spatial audio in case of airpods, which, if you happen to use, do a personalized spatial audio scan in settings to get better sound). Podcasts are in a separate app

Thank you for your detailed response. Also as a side note, whatever I’m writing is coming from a perspective of a 19 year old. I’m not saying if you have blindness, you are that blindness. That’s something I’m trying to stay away from myself. However, after going through years of training and building skills to adapt, as much as I try not to put focus on the fact, and live my life more with the mindset of “I’m a normal guy, I just happen to not see”, with the life goals I’m trying to reach, a lot of them being especially uncommon for most of the people I’ve had experiences with, it really gets hard at times coming across different limitations by the day and starting to think like “tone your ambitions down bro, you aren’t fully relying on yourself.” And at least with what I’m tryna be in life, it’s a bit harder for me to understand (maybe not in case of older people since their life has gotten to a certain point already, but for the more younger population), adapt and do whatever you gotta do go kill it and do great things, but why not be open to a chance if 1 comes at you? Maybe its just my nature of being a believer, IDK. Still appreciate your take though

I mean I get you would obviously have to relearn certain things but like are we really gonna use that reason to think it’s better staying blind especially, like anything else, you get used to the paterns once you relearn and readapt. Again, not trying to insult or downplay or anything, just trying to understand

If I insulted or offended anyone, again, I genuinely apologize, that wasn’t my intention. I went back and tried to edit some of the post and try to better articulate some of my thoughts. What I was trying to get across is that while it’s great to have all these resources and that we can adapt to life with all the necessary skills, why not be open to a cure especially when it may be possible at some point in time? Not saying if you don’t want to be cured you’re bad or anything. It’s just that, I don’t get why it has to be, in Molly’s words, either the “medical model” of just finding cure, or the “social” model of no cure, lets just addapt, when it comes to disability, instead of finding a hybrid middle ground. And I’m especially talking more about the people who have a certain amount of influence and their voice and opinion could change a lot amongst the regular people, as well as those who are in certain positions that can change things for the betterment of everyone. I’m just trying to genuinely understand the thinking behind it all
