The reality is that there are thousands of artists creating crappy music and everyone wants to know why their not getting paid. The medium is not the right consideration for making money. Only a great artist will generate the money you want.

First off, Atmos 2.0 sounds awesome and few engineers could make a stereo mix with that much depth and space. It would require scientific understanding of sound recording. Second, immersive audio has always been the preferred playback system for anyone that has an interest in music recording on an artistic level(not just fashion and celebrity worship) It's not gatekeeping but it is an attempt to bring quality back into the recorded music space. Let the fashion icons make their hit records from their bedroom while the rest of us enjoy good music on an incredible playback system that recreates music more vividly than real life.

The furthest I will go is 4.1 Listening to music is 2.1 that is it. I refuse to stick speakers everywhere and look at it as a joke. In reality what really is the amount of people having an Atmos system. The best thing as a consumer that I have done is not be in the apple dictatorship. Apple has become 1984. As for having sound moving around you... the song (Love you like a ball and chain) is amazing and it is just Stereo. In the end free yourselves and dump Apple.

same issue here, but this didn't work

Would love to see a full review from you. Always love hearing your thoughts!

wow....UAD is really close to the hardware

Ive got the Vox Box UAD plugin and the Nebula Pres Colors and Saturation which as the Vox Box pre amp Live ANALOG sampled from the actual unit....right now its on sale for 50 and the Alex Be Nebula Plugin Library is 50 and the N4 Commercial Player plugin is 400 so that $500 vs $4000 for the Hardware...and the UAD and nebula together will sound just as good

I'm confused. Did you at least listen to a proper Atmos demo before making this video? This video is very empty.

Nice

Hey there! Do you have any experience with the Audioscape 76A? Im torn between these two

The lack of standards and compatibility will keep any form insignificant and not successful. Without solid concept and standards nothing will translate like intended.

Great video. I recently had an agent suggest I learn Atmos because the film companies and commercial companies are going to require them-- which means they won't accept a submission without them. It got me nervous till I saw that Cubase lets you mix with a binaural stereo version. Not the same as 7.1.4, of course, but at least you can do it without breaking your bank. The guys I checked with just did a stereo mix But it reminds me of Surroud Sound. over ten years ago, a film company required a surround sound mix at the last second-- I had no idea how to do it. So I just selected Surround Sound Export on Cubase and sent in the tracks--- it was a just a stereo mix with blank tracks in the back. No one had a problem with it. I don't think anyone even listened to it. Sounded great on TV. My guess is that Atmos will be the same unless for IMAX theater soundtracks and movie sound effects. I have a feeling I'll do an Atmos mix using the binaural setting and then send it in. No one will listen to it. I know that sounds lazy, but I've run into this before with alternative mixes of all types. I'm mostly a composer now, and other people mix the stems anyway-- and they'll do Atmos if they have to. But for my pop music writing I'll stick to stereo mixes and then do binaural Atmos mix if they require it. I think it's just a new way to thin the submissions for licensing. I'll learn what I have to, but I'm not rebuilding my studio for this.

Thanks for posting this demo. You have done an excellent job at showing the musical brilliance of this unit. It's officially on my list as i have been using the plugin for too long now!

In my opinion, the most common and accessible way for consumers, rather than creators, to experience Atmos is through headphones or earphones with head-tracking capabilities, such as AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. In fact, before Apple introduced spatial audio, Audeze was the first to attempt head-tracking headphones with their Mobius model. Released in 2018 (if I recall correctly), these headphones supported 7.1-channel virtual surround sound on both Windows and Mac (although not Atmos channels) and surprisingly offered ASIO channels with quite good latency in 7.1-channel mode on Windows(by usb connect). In short, they were the first headphones not only for listening but also for creating surround content. They even provided an app that collaborated with Waves’ head-tracking plugin. However, as we all know, headphones have significant limitations compared to speakers when used as primary tools by creators. They can be quite tiring for long periods of use and lack the ability to check areas like crossfades. Although binaural environments are a crucial part of immersive audio and effectively utilize ear-related effects to create a high-quality immersive experience, they still fall short compared to actual multichannel speaker setups. Looking to the future, as you mentioned, I believe we will see more convenient solutions to overcome the challenges of establishing environments like 7.1.4 or 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos/immersive setups. This doesn't necessarily mean there will be no need to build Dolby Atmos speaker systems, but I do anticipate a variety of low-budget solutions becoming available. For instance, I hope companies like Sony, Sennheiser, Audeze, Neumann, and Genelec..will release premium headphones for creators that are much lighter, have thick ear pads for long-term use with less impact on hearing and fatigue, and support 7.1.4 channels or higher with refined immersive environment and multichannel simulation. Additionally, I look forward to advanced soundbars evolving, where even without a complex Atmos speaker setup, a system with about 3-4 units can create and work within a 9.1.6 environment directly in a DAW in the near future.

fantastically helpful

I love working as an artist with Dolby Atmos, you make some great points, but I still love working with it and releasing in stereo and Dolby Atmos in all formats.

Definately the hardware has a clarity and warmth than the plug in. Plug in was sort of dry. I guess if u cannot afford the hardare, like me, the plug in will do but yes... hardware was very nice. How much is a hardware like that?

Dude, I've been wanting to do this for years, but I was very reluctant. I saw your video, bought the same fan, and followed the same steps. I had a couple of hiccups, but after one hour it was working flawlessly. I was surprised I was able to buy the same fan model in Japan, but it was available. Unless you have a sort of death wish, you should ask for help from a friend who does things like this often because this stuff is expensive, and a slight wrong move could ruin the whole thing. Thank you!

Great tutorial. Suddenly, PT doesn't open on my MAC. During the opening process, it gets stuck at the SciFi plugin. How do I solve this issue?

Genius!❤ This resolve my particular problem, thank u so much

Would be neat to hear the different modes, but the mic sounds great on its stock setting-and very u67 like. Thank you!

As you’ve basically highlighted here, people have an extremely high tolerance for crap. His is why streaming took over physical media and why dollar stores are more popular than Sears now. I listen to ATMOS music on my sub $1000 CAD Samsung sound bar and I think it sounds incredible. I still listen to and enjoy stereo mixes, of course, but ATMOS is better. No denying it.

Please enlighten .... Which Mic and Preamp on the Vocal ?

THANKS!!!

Have you tried a Rode Classic before? Not the Classic 2. I’m looking at the Flea 47. And am curious if it’s just rounder sounding.

Hey bud! Did you end up keeping the focusrite?

The hardware version sounds warmer to me, but the plug-in version is still not bad. Might pick it up for $49 on UAD if I still have enough money left.

This is some pretty sound advice! Even though I do use limiting while mastering (although no more than roughly 2 dB of gain reduction) to get that extra LuFS, I always make sure I have a good crest factor on my mix before going into mastering by using methods like the ones you laid out here (and I NEVER mix with a limiter on my 2bus - I don't care if X famous engineer does it. It's only detrimental, because it weakens transients and causes unneeded intermodulation distortion).

Such a niche group! Thanks for this video. The current sale almost got me!

The Beez Neez 251 looks amazing too

What's the verdict?? I just got one delivered today from Vintage King! Been comparing it to my Manley Ref C (using for just my own vocals). It's really, really impressive packaging and construction. Super premium. My first 251 so I'm still learning what it does.

I think that certain genres like pop or electronic music might be a little more interesting for making use of atmos. But then again I was just listening to an orchestra mixed in atmos and it was great. Or take that John Mayer concert. What if it was mixed perfectly to blend the sound of the crowd and the venue with the perfect mix of the performance added but from your living room? I can see a lot of interesting uses for it. I part of the issue is people don’t really understand it well or how it can be used. Maybe as they learn more about it, it will be more appealing? I am a musician that does some recording and Im really interested in it. I have a basic setup now that I like but Im building a full atmos home theater for 7.2.4 and I cant wait to hear what it sounds like with all matching drivers. Im really hoping theres a way to monitor my recording through the home theater Im already building. Id say give it some time and people will be wiring in full atmos setups just like we have 5.1 etc already.

Ah, hero - I had to update ilok first for the report unusable feature to appear, but it did the job!

Any rnb vocals or rap vocals with it ? Thinking about getting one to

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can’t wait to hear it. It’s probably the only mic I’m still itching for. The case used to be an option on the older Flea mics. I have one for one of my FleA 49s, but not the other.

It's workmanship looks incredible

Good to see you again! I was curious about the studio, and glad to see the tour.

Hi Josh, first of all I would like to thank you for all the stuff you did so far (and hopefully in future) in your channel, like that sooo much! I saw in the newer vids that the 176 is not in your rack anymore and the RS 124 is back in place. So you´ve changed it back to Chandler and sold the 176? Regards Carsten

I thought the 660 soudned smoother and more polished on everything. 124 Sounded AMAZING on electric guitar though!! =)

Yo have you ever had the pro tools session open with cmn_DocumentTooOld before

I almost always prefer DTS-HD MA tracks over Dolby Atmos tracks. I just think DTS's mixes are done better.

I got the Peter Gabriel new album and tried the Atmos disc. It has some rear and top sound, I don't have a professional set up, but I thought the dark side cd had a better sound than the Blu-ray Atmos mix. If you can obtain an Atmos experience through stereo headphones, is that not the same with a good 2 channel hifi? I'm not sold on it and already have issues with Amazon music Atmos working on a firestick, but not through the Atmos enabled TVs own app through eArc. Too many complications, even outside of physical media 🙃

I really enjoyed A. I felt like I was in the song. My second fav was a toss up between C, and E. Ultimately I think I liked the upper end harmonics of C more. ACE. In. That. Order.

Thank you so muchhhh 👐👐
