Dolby Atmos Music uses the same concept, but with the goal of immersing you in a song instead of a movie. If you’ve ever been in an Dolby Atmos theater and heard a helicopter fly overhead, from one corner of the room to another, you’ve already experienced how this technology can be used to make movies more immersive. ![]() In other words, instead of having a single track for the drums, and then deciding how far to the left or right the drums should sit in a stereo mix, the producer could take just the snare drum and move it all around a room, or have it come from just one overhead speaker at the back of the room, or have it come from all 34 speakers at once. What’s even more remarkable is that a recording engineer can divide a song into 128 different tracks and move each of those tracks independently within that 34-speaker arrangement. Instead of being limited to just two channels, Dolby Atmos Music can take advantage of up to 34 channels, which means up to 34 individual speakers. When everything’s finished, the producer and engineer may elect to “pan” some of those tracks more to the left or right in order to create an immersive stereo mix, but the result is always two-channel sound - one channel for each speaker in a stereo pair.ĭolby Atmos Music works differently. ![]() Drums go on one track, lead guitar on another, and so on.
