> It’s corrupting the mix created by the artists. Like stereo mixes, Atmos mixes are also created by the artists with their production and engineering teams. The real problem, as the article notes, is that we're in the early days of mixing for object-based audio, just as we were once in the early days of mixing for CD. Mixes for the then-new CD format were sometimes terrible. As the article also notes, there are some stellar Atoms mixes out there: "…some albums really have been mastered well for the format, to the point where I prefer listening to the Atmos version. An example of this is the Pixies' classic album Doolittle, which has an absolutely stellar Atmos remix. I will sometimes turn Atmos back on just to listen to that album."
