Apple and Billie Eilish Collaborate on Short Film Promoting Spatial Audio

[DeepIn2U]

Great. Another 90 second "Mumble Fest" from Ms. Ellish. She really needs to get over herself and take some voice lessons.

What?!
Mumble fest? Bro you want mumble fest just listen to mumble raps baby mumble joke Lil Pump “Gucci Gang” - THAT is a mumble fest and it’s finally dying from every other artists. (See attached)

Ms Eilish has taking singing lessons has sung in church choirs and actually sings and quite well. Seems you’ve only sampled the heavy energy tracks you’ve heard around.

other established singers real singers have praised her.

I think your issue is a very Young female being in incredibly successful and is killing the charts globally and quickly expanding into fashion etc. That’s on you to deal with if that’s the case.

No, it’s Apple’s version of Dolby Atmos. Apple wants people to believe it’s the same. It most definitely is NOT.

I mean, it absolutely is 100%. It is literally an industry standard and certification. There are no "versions" of it.

 

[ErikGrim]

For the knuckledraggers who thinks she needs to "take some voice lessons"

 

[Haiku_Oezu]

I think some songs make it much more obvious. Where it's utilize in a good way it really does feel more like the head is inside a "sphear" of audio than just left and right channels.

Yeah I think it’s less about being able to tell where the audio coming from and more about being able to tell individual instruments thanks to better separation
Maybe I’m just looking for something that isn’t there in the first place

So if it's not Atmos, how come Atmos ready hardware such as surround receivers are receiving an Atmos stream and shows the Atmos logo in the display?

What is your speaker set up, and what receiver are you using?

What is your speaker set up, and what receiver are you using?

5.1.2, Denon AVR-X1600H. Why?

5.1.2, Denon AVR-X1600H. Why?

Because I’m wondering if Apple is piggy backing on Atmos without really being Dolby Atmos. If Apple was presenting a real Dolby Atmos signal, why is Apple calling it Spatial Audio? Listening to surround sound can be great. SACD’s do that really well. Dolby Atmos has additional height channels that just aren’t there in this presentation. With your setup, you would not notice them missing. Perhaps in your receiver a true surround sound mix lights up the Atmos button. If Apple is really using Dolby Atmos call it that! That would be amazing, incredible. Perhaps it’s just a bad mix, for me it sounded best in my AirPod Max. Less so in 5.1, and the same in 11.2. Nothing like Atmos content I’m used to. Go see Free Guy in a Dolby Atmos theater if you can. It’s the best example of Dolby Vision/Atmos I've run across so far & it’s a fun movie.

They are calling it Dolby Atmos. It's right there on the badge.

Yes they are. You really have no basis for your claims, please stop

Cool video, but back in my day we called them commercials and not ”short films.”


Apple is trying to justify the high cost and trying to create a need for their AirPods Max by positioning them as HDTV but for sound, but I think everybody can see it’s a gimmick.

back in your day commercials were no more than 60 seconds (90 at most).
If this bugs ya wonder what MJ’s Thriller length did to ya

Comparatively apples coat of their films is a LOT cheaper than all other streaming media.

I'm not disputing any of that, but why are we holding up Billie Eilish as our example of "what's next"?
She's literally the only one who sounds anything like she does.

It's hardly the new trend or the way music all is now..

If anything it's just a unique solo artist sound -- which has been a thing in every era of music.
That doesn't mean it's the new trend and sound and we are all fighting it or in denial, etc..

you sound like contradicting yourself.
Every genre and every trend in music first started by a trailblazer, someone or a group that did NOT follow common actions etc.

it takes a while for a trans to begin. Also it doesn’t have to be a trend.

example Prince.
first artist to have a movie launched as a blockbuster with no previous track record and that launched an album. It’s been 30yrs since Purple Rain was copied and here we are with Billie.

he’s also THE only artist that can write a top 10, or #1 global charting song that is agnostic to gender: Nothing Compares 2 U, sung by Sinaed OConnor written by Prince.

malos the only artist to change his stage name, twice and still remain relevant and successful.

the ONLY artist to go against others in music on public common opinion of medium change (Physical to digital media; Napster MP3 hording) and be RIGHT and garner a standing ovation of his unique stance. Lars of Metallica pretty much frites all other artists hatred against MP3’s yet respected Prince at a major award show on his does he about hoarders vs real fans that will purchase your music. He was right for over a decade until streaming music came a major change.

nobody yet can play as many instruments fully and play with other greats of other genres that cannot compete and respect his talent and enjoyed playing with him.
