How to Upload Apple Spatial Audio Dolby Atmos Content?

Spatial Audio is essentially Apple’s take on Dolby Atmos for Headphones and Sony’s PS5 3D Audio. Apple spatial audio is designed to deliver surround sound and 3D audio through headphones and in a superior fashion through Apple’s headphone product range (the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max) with head tracking, background noise cancelling etc. For now, it is only available for Apple Music users.

How can I see if a song is available in Dolby Atmos?

Play the song, then check for the Dolby Atmos badge in Now Playing. If every song on an album is available in Dolby Atmos, so, you will see the Dolby Atmos badge on the album’s detail page. Moreover, some songs are available in Dolby Atmos only on a particular version of an album.

Whatʼs the best way to find music in Dolby Atmos?

You can find music available in Dolby Atmos on Apple Musicʼs editorial playlists.

Social Media Support

Social media support is one of the last and newest channel. Social media has come about over the past twenty years and taken the internet by storm. To be adapted this new generation channel, aggregators have to support customers with the social support.

Most aggregators do not have social media support especially TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, and Vevo. Because these platforms started to identify, protect, track and pay for the music consumption on their platforms a while ago. Time to try the fastest distro music distribution for you!

Although Vevo is a niche platform, it is popular in some territories. Thus, you may consider using Vevo as one of your outlets.

TikTok collected more visits than Google in 2021, therefore it is a major platform for music, especially a discovery platform for its users. TikTok sets aside a predetermined amount of money for each year and distributes that on a pro-rata basis. However, still pays decent earnings due to the huge volume of consumption.

There are also very similar things for Facebook and Instagram. You would definitely want your followers to find your music. So, they can use your song on their videos, posts and feeds as lyrics.

Twitch is also another platform where your fans will be. So make sure your distributor provides support for Twitch as well.

DSPs ingest thousands of content from aggregators and labels on a daily basis. To cope with faster time to store action, they have to rely on their partners to provide the best. The most correct information relates to your releases.

To achieve that, DSPs typically classify their partners based on the quality of their content and related metadata.

We meticulously provide the best and most correct information to DSPs. Hence, the majority of DSPs consider us as the preferred partner. This gives us the status of “direct-to-store” status, which means that DSPs do not check the content provided by us. Therefore, a sample check is for our content to make sure we keep our status to the highest data standards.

Your release will be live in some DSPs in less than 2 hours. It is also noteworthy that some small DSPs are not highly automated. Hence, content ingestion might include some manual steps. Getting your content live might take 48 hours. But, this is not the case for major DSPs like Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, GooglePlay etc.

Distronaut Pays You Every Month

Here is how our process works to make Distronaut pays you every month;

We work with every DSP we work with to collect royalty reports (typically following a month after). For example, January 2022 reports will mostly be available at the beginning or middle of February 2022). As you would appreciate collecting reports from hundreds of DSPs is a challenging task!

We normalize the data to our royalty report standards and begin processing them. So, it takes a few days to complete.

DSPs convert local currency earnings to a common denominator based on their country of origin EUR (i.e. Spotify) or USD (i.e. Apple). Then, pay us based on those conversions (Therefore, we take the exchange rates used in these calculations and re-calculate those royalties and expose them into our reports so you can see them at the transactional level).

We then convert EUR, USD-based reports to currency of our partners’ choice if needed. So, we produce the royalty reports which includes every stream, view, download that generated royalties for you. We are talking about thousands of lines.

We audit and make reports available for our partners on the last Friday of every month regardless of us getting paid by the DSPs or not.

The DSPs typically pay the reported earnings 1-3 months after we received the reports.

Although you typically get your first earnings 1-1.5 months after your release, the royalty/collection process is generally around a 1-4 months process. It means we receive payments by different DSPs up to 4 months after your release.

Synchronizing Lyrics in Digital Music

Lyrics seem to be one of the most used ways to enjoy music. With synchronizing lyrics to the song you upload, your song becomes much more catchy to everyone who listens. And this is one of the most requested features from all DSPs listeners across the globe.

All major platforms now provide support for lyrics so you can enjoy singing along while listening to your favorite tune.

Easier Way to Synchronize Lyrics

Getting your lyrics to every platform in the world sounds easy but the reality is very far from that. Some platforms accept or force lyrics while getting your music to their platform (i.e Apple Music, YouTube), and some work with 3rd party companies (i.e Spotify, Instagram) to do the work for them.

Additionally, lyrics have different standards and ways as static text or synchronized lyrics.

While working with Distronaut, you will not even notice that we are providing your lyrics to all parties for synchronizing lyrics so your fans can experience your releases as they deserve.
