> isn't the idea of it that you can put speakers wherever you want and it remixes appropriately? No, Atmos has some tolerance for speaker placement but the general positions are somewhat strict (i.e. 1 Front Center, 2 Stereo Fronts, ...). The idea of Atmos is that given a correct sound setup, a sound can be positioned as an Object in 3d Space within the sound bubble. And that only works to a certain degree. If you want a strong 3D sound effect, the Object pretty much needs to be moving (bullets swishing beside your ear). Static Objects are still somewhat restricted to the edges of the bubble or at least i can hear the 3d effect breakdown when static objects are placed in 3d space as opposed to moving objects
