I know Mikko Raita is doing a ton of them. Hope he signs up.
Not a ton - it's still slow in Finland. But yeah I've got a 9.1.6 Dynaudio setup (as cheap as possible, so old BM15A's and even older BM6 passives for the ceiling. I've mixed some film scores in Atmos and now trying to build up some Atmos Music work - basically a suitable project comes in, I try to sell doing an Atmos version as well, and sometimes they bite.
I do hope it picks up, doing the mixes is super fun. (Just mixing an "epic" pop/rock track in Atmos, and waiting to hear if next week's electronic/free jazz trio mix would get the label go ahead - we recorded it with Atmos in mind and it would work super well, tons of synths, guitar pedals, loopers etc in use)
Re: Spotify (The Quote button is broken btw?) - didn't they just tout their new LA HQ facility with an ATMOS STUDIO in it? That's a hint if anything... Also Apple Music apparently playlisting only songs that have an Atmos mix done as well.
FWIW I actually also switched to a Win 11 Pro Tools machine (gasp), really enjoying it, but getting shafted re: Atmos a bit. I'm keeping my old Mac Pro 5,1 to run the Renderer (although with the DAR 5.0 update, I can actually do a single machine Win workflow now as well, but it's super finicky so sticking to 2 machines for now).
I'm using a MTRX Studio with Dante, so i'm currently stuck with just 64 channels for beds and objects, and just 32 if I'm running the mix at 96k (which I often am), due to cheaping it out with DVS. It's not optimal, but passable.
