Was Atmos used only on Now and Then? Or was it used for all the remixes on
the 2023 remixes of the red & blue CDs?]]> Tue, 14 Nov 2023 14:13:53 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10010&PID=63987&title=beatles-now-then#63987 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10010&PID=63982&title=beatles-now-then#63982 Author: LunarLaugh

It's the same general idea as Dolby Surround and Dolby Pro Logic once were, just with fancy new buzz words.]]> Tue, 14 Nov 2023 12:53:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10010&PID=63982&title=beatles-now-then#63982 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10010&PID=63981&title=beatles-now-then#63981 Author: davidlg1971

I generally agree - the Atmos stereo downmix sounds clearer than the super-compressed standard stereo version. But the Dolby downmix has its problems too - the strings, background vocals, bass and some of the non-cymbal drums are mixed a bit too far back. And Lennon's voice is a little loud. Also, McCartney shadows Lennon's lead vocals in several places, and replaces it altogether at the end of some lines. As a result in the Atmos stereo mix it's jarring whenever Lennon disappears, since McCartney is further back in the mix - such as at 1:04 in the video you posted.

I think the balance between instruments is better in the main stereo version. But it's also a muddy mess - so hopefully they sort out both versions with better mixing/mastering at some point.]]> Tue, 14 Nov 2023 12:47:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10010&PID=63981&title=beatles-now-then#63981 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10010&PID=63977&title=beatles-now-then#63977 Author: EdisonLite

I've been hearing about atmos but don't know too much. So you need special
equipment? meaning speakers? And if you don't have it, the surround sound
will get folded to stereo, which will probably be different than the true stereo
mix that was made of any song, and at times sound better than that mix?

Is any of that a fair assessment?]]> Tue, 14 Nov 2023 11:32:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10010&PID=63977&title=beatles-now-then#63977 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10010&PID=63973&title=beatles-now-then#63973 Author: EternalStatic

Sorry if I'm repeating myself here (too lazy to go back a page and look at my last response, ha ha ha), but I perceived the Dolby Atmos mix to be superior as well, and I was listening on 2-channel stereo equipment, not true
"surround". Supposedly Atmos mixes will fold down to stereo easily, so what you heard is probably the real thing.]]> Tue, 14 Nov 2023 06:16:30 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10010&PID=63973&title=beatles-now-then#63973 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10010&PID=63963&title=beatles-now-then#63963 Author: davidclark

It’s #7 on the Hot 100 this week, with 73,000 in sales, 11 million streams,
and 2.1 million in airplay ‘audience impressions’.

What I’m now wondering is whether 83 year old Ringo is the oldest person

For those who are interested there is a radio edit of the track. It cuts of the 1,2,3,4 intro and the song actually fades instead of the talking at the end.
