The easy part to understand: every track on Apple Music instantly gets lossless playback. Lossless and Spatial Audio, now on Apple Music – meaning also a delivery option if you’re making spatial sound with Dolby Atmos. So you might want to know how to mix for it. The big breakthrough here – Dolby just got a huge leg-up with Apple Music and Apple hardware. And Spatial Audio may well be the future, even if the listening hardware and distribution mechanisms are still uncertain. (That of course may rankle producers who hoped premium sound would command a premium price or more royalties – it seems not so much.) So what’s it about? Basically, the existing Apple Music subscription and streaming gets a sound update, without changing the price.
And you can get started mixing for it right away. But more than that, it hints at a world of music listening generally that dumps lossy compression and embraces spatial sound.
Apple will update its Apple Music subscription service in June with a no-cost addition of new sound features.
