The result is an entirely new way of listening to music. Atmos Music takes the same immersive multichannel audio format used to create Atmos soundtracks for movies and applies it to the music production process. But no matter how many speakers get placed in a certain area - say, the left side of the room for the left surround channel - all of those speakers were restricted to one channel of sound, so they all played the same sound at the same time.Ī more recent development in the Dolby Atmos ecosystem is Dolby Atmos Music.
When designing a film’s soundtrack, directors are guided by these different channels to steer sound effects around the room. Before the advent of Dolby Atmos, theaters could only reproduce a maximum of eight individual tracks of surround sound, spread out among varying numbers of speakers.įor example: With the 7.1-channel surround sound still used in most theaters, you get three channels in front (left, right, and center), two side surround channels (left and right), two rear channels (left and right), and one subwoofer channel. In theaters, Dolby Atmos significantly expands the speakers used, as well as the way surround sound is employed, opening up new possibilities for movie-makers to provide a more realistic, immersive sound experience.
