Now, Mayer says on his Instagram that his album is available once again in Dolby Atmos on Apple Music, stating "I attended these mixes and am thrilled with how it sounds!".
The news is interesting because since the release of Dolby Atmos on Apple Music, not every song mixed in the super-immersive format has been a hit. You can definitely tell when trawling through Atmos songs that there's a pretty big disparity in the style, volume, and dare-I-say quality of the mixes. Even Giles Martin, who mixed the Spatial audio for The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band came out and said that the mix wasn't quite right and that he wanted another crack at it:
Giles Martin, the producer behind The Beatles' two spatial audio albums on Apple Music, has said that Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band doesn't sound quite right, and that he plans to mix it again.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Martin said that turning the tracks into Dolby Atmos mixes was "a bit like someone you love for years having a slightly different haircut... and you realize you still love them."
