Dolby Atmos FAQs

What is Dolby Atmos?

Dolby Atmos is an immersive sound format that allows you to place your music in 3D space. With a much broader palette than stereo, you can now set and move sounds in three dimensions to capture the artist's vision entirely. 

Does Symphonic deliver Dolby Atmos?

Yes, Symphonic can deliver your Dolby Atmos release to Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, and TIDAL. To do so, you must have a Dolby Atmos-compatible WAV file.

How to create a Dolby Atmos version for my track/release?

You must create and provide Symphonic with a Dolby Atmos-compatible WAV file. You'll need an Atmos-compatible DAW; Supported DAWs include Ableton Live, Apple Logic, Avid Pro Tools, and Steinberg Nuendo.

• The Spatial Audio file's duration needs to match the Stereo Audio file's duration to be accepted.
  • The duration of the stereo and spatial file must be within .05 seconds (50ms) of each other.

Here are some additional Dolby Atmos FAQs and information on how to start mixing in Dolby Atmos.

Will I be charged multiple times if I re-release the track more than once?

No, Symphonic will only charge you once per track. Like Stereo Audio, if you want to reuse Spatial Audio on another release, enter the same Spatial ISRC when building your release. This will prevent multiple charges for using the same Spatial Audio across your catalog.

Why don't I see the Dolby Atmos badging on my release in Apple Music? 

If Dolby Atmos is turned off, you typically won’t see the Dolby Atmos badge on albums or tracks in Apple Music. Ensure that Dolby Atmos is turned on in your device or Apple Music settings.
