- drcongo 3y agoI don't think that's true - the loudness wars haven't really been a thing for a few years now, the streaming services all "normalise" the loudness which makes pushing it in the master pointless.
- acdha 3y agoThere are very noticeable differences on some recordings. I think that’s probably a question of whether the Atmos version is a straight re-encoding or whether they took the time to do some other editing as well, which can make these comparisons really confusing since people will swear they’re talking about the same thing.
- drcongo 3y agoAs I understand it, atmos / spatial recordings are a full re-master when it's done to older recordings so yeah, there's definitely going to be a big difference when compared to masters from years or decades ago.
- acdha 3y agoDefinitely - in addition to higher bit rates and depths I’m sure some people are tempted to use denoising or more advanced filtering, too.
