What is Dolby Atmos?

Dolby Atmos is an object-based, immersive audio format. Instead of fixed left/right channels, individual sounds are placed as objects in three-dimensional space — including height — so a mix can render to headphones or a multi-speaker setup and feel like it surrounds the listener. It has moved from cinema into a headline feature of premium music tiers.

What is Hi-Res Audio?

Hi-Res (high-resolution) audio is lossless audio delivered above CD quality — typically 24-bit depth at sample rates up to 192 kHz. The extra bit depth and sample rate preserve more detail and dynamic range than a standard compressed stream, closer to the original studio master.

Where it plays

Immersive & hi-res, on the major platforms

Immersive and hi-res audio are now central to the premium tiers on the platforms that support them — among them Apple Music, Amazon Music, and TIDAL. LabelGrid delivers your Atmos and hi-res masters to each platform that accepts them, and your standard stereo master everywhere else, from a single upload.

Dolby Atmos & Hi-Res FAQ

What format do I deliver for Dolby Atmos?

Deliver your Atmos mix as an ADM BWF file — a Broadcast Wave file that carries the Dolby Atmos metadata. LabelGrid delivers it to the platforms that support Atmos.

Do I still need a stereo master?

Yes. Always include a standard stereo master. It ships alongside your immersive/hi-res files and is what platforms without Atmos or Hi-Res receive.

Does Dolby Atmos or Hi-Res cost extra on LabelGrid?

No. Immersive and hi-res delivery are included at no extra charge, on every plan.

Which platforms support Atmos and Hi-Res?

Apple Music, Amazon Music, and TIDAL are the platforms most associated with immersive and hi-res audio, but support and tiers change — verify current support per DSP.

What is Apple Digital Masters?

Apple Digital Masters is a quality standard for delivering a high-resolution master to Apple Music. LabelGrid supports it — deliver the highest-quality master you have.

Will hi-res or Atmos change my royalties?

No. Royalties are tracked in LabelGrid’s royalty accounting, with automated splits from the Basic plan up, the same as any other delivery.
