Donemus Records can now deliver immersive audio to Apple Music, meaning that your music can now be experienced with multi-dimensional, Dolby Atmos sound by all Apple Music subscribers.
Spatial Audio
This refers to Apple’s own immersive implementation that uses sensors to track the listener’s head movements and adjusts the directionality of the audio. This requires an Apple device plus AirPods Pro or AirPods Max.
Releasing music in the Dolby Atmos audio format sets you up for interesting on-platform marketing opportunities. There are a number of new sliders, hero banners, and features incorporated into Apple Music now dedicated to content available in Spatial Audio. Apple will also have curated Dolby Atmos playlists to help listeners find music in this format. Also, albums that are available in Dolby Atmos will have a badge on the album detail page.
File Requirements
All Dolby Atmos files must meet the following requirements:
24-bit 48 kHz ADM BWAV
Max. 128 channels
Max. 118 objects
Must be of the same duration as the stereo file
