To Atmos or Not to Atmos... There is no question.

Good read, but John and the others miss the huge “experience” aspect, and I wish they took that into their equations. Because as is, their points are all about the format and the technicalities/BS that it brings with it… I 100% agree with everything in that article and the videos and could add a few other Atmos-related pains/shortcomings… Dolby Corp being the main one… If experience was in that equation and the new and never-before-felt aspects of listening to music were put next to all these (negative/difficult) aspects, they would fade into non-existence… And yes, there are shit Atmos mixes out there, but when done right, fuck me, it elevates the music into a unique experience.
