Apple’s Spatial Audio: Not ‘revolutionary,’ but often better than stereo
Many of the ‘Spatial’ mixes I sampled sounded more spacious and clearly defined than their stereo predecessors.
When I heard that Apple would be joining the movement to improve upon stereo audio I was skeptical. I’d heard attempts at this by other companies and wasn’t impressed. Now, after having listened to some of the new “Spatial Audio” mixes in Apple Music, I have to admit Apple’s execution of the concept is better than I expected.
