Apple has revealed just how much extra cash its artists can expect to make if they decide to record their tracks using spatial audio. According to Bloomberg, artists can hope to receive royalties up to 10 per cent higher than the standard rate if they mix their tracks using Dolby Atmos spatial audio.
We reported on this proposed development back in December of last year, and now it seems that the plans are official and ready to be fully hatched. Apple's general aim is to encourage artists and labels to mix music using Dolby Atmos, with those tracks that use the spatial audio format receiving an extra weighting and thus higher royalty payments for the artists involved.
