How to Upload Dolby Atmos Immersive Audio to Apple Music

Create an immersive experience for your fans by ensuring your Dolby Atmos Immersive Audio files are properly prepared and uploaded to Apple Music.

What are Dolby Atmos & Apple Immersive Audio?

As technology evolves, so does the way we enjoy music. One of the most exciting advancements is Dolby Atmos Immersive Audio.

Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology that adds height to the traditional surround sound setup, creating a 3D sound environment. This means sound can move around in three dimensions, offering listeners a more engaging and lifelike experience.

Apple’s Immersive Audio works similarly by using head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to mimic how sound naturally reaches our ears. This creates a 3D space where listeners feel surrounded by sound, whether they’re using headphones, speakers, or even smartphones.

When combined, Dolby Atmos and Immersive Audio offer a groundbreaking way to experience music, making listeners feel as if they’re in the same room as the performers.

How to Upload Dolby Atmos Immersive Audio to Apple Music

Uploading immersive audio files is a bit different from traditional audio, but it’s manageable with the right steps. Here’s a simple guide:

  1. Prepare Your Dolby Atmos File: Immersive audio files are larger and require specific formats like Dolby Atmos (Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Digital Plus). Ensure your file is correctly formatted before uploading.
  2. Upload Your File: Once your Dolby Atmos Immersive Audio file is ready, upload it to your chosen platform. Make sure to verify that the upload is complete and correct.
    • Channel Count: Dolby Atmos files can support up to 128 channels, enhancing the immersive quality of the audio.
    You can include Dolby Atmos immersive audio in all new releases during the upload process for free. For more information on creating music in Dolby Atmos, visit Dolby Atmos Music Creation.
