Disabled Account 392 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 So, I’m just listening to Chromatica on Apple Music and some songs feel different, as if they would’ve changed them. Sour Candy is different (pay attention to the intro.). Stupid Love, the single version, sounds different too. What is it? Could it be the new lossless/dobly atmos, etc. thing? Please, someone go and check and tell me I’m not crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t listened to it in awhile but the Dolby Atmos version is horrendous for that song.

If you don't wanna pay for a subscription there's certain sharing forum that has the album... 13 | this is my dancefloor i fought for, your voice is louder, it echoes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandonM170 686 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 You can always use "loseless" and not Dolby Atmos. I think ROM sounds fine, but I think I am crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshie S 6,135 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 A lot of the Act I songs sound so bad with Dolby Atmos and lyrics/vocals are actually missing or dramatically reduced in volume. Stupid Love & Rain On Me are wrecked. They CANNOT leave the Dolby versions like this.

A lot of my favorite tracks just don’t sound good anymore on a lot of different albums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillynate 6,170 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 So the only thing I can think of is that you have Dolby Atmos on. 1000% the Dolby Atmos versions are different mixes. Certain songs flow into the next song without DA, specifically the entire last act of Chromatica. My favorite for reference is Babylon. If you play it with DA off, you can hear the fizz from the end of 1000 Doves at the start of Babylon. With DA on, that fizz is gone and Babel is it’s own song from start to finish. All the leaked instrumentals from November 2020 are like this. I call them the unmixed versions. Just like with Madonna’s Confessions, there’s the mixed version where the entire album is one song, and the unmixed where each individual song has its own start and finish. From this standpoint, Chromatica is definitely an enigma. Maybe someday we’ll get a properly mastered unmixed version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
