ATMOS Prep Guide
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR SESSION FOR ATMOS
How to Prepare Your Files
Atmos requires clean, organized stems — not full sessions.
Vocal Lead Stem
Background Vocal Group Stem
Mixed Instrumental Trackouts
Master
Music/Drums
Individual trackouts when available
Avoid
Missing stems, clipped audio, unlabeled files, mixed sample rates, or locked‑in processing you don’t want.
When You Need ATMOS
You need Atmos when your record is ready for a fully immersive, multi‑speaker experience that translates across Apple Music, TIDAL, and certified playback environments. Atmos requires clean stems, proper routing, and full control over every element in the 3D field.
ATMOS — What Happens After You Submit
Once your stems are uploaded, I inspect the files to confirm all Atmos‑required elements are present — vocal lead stem, background vocal group stem, and mixed instrumental trackouts (master, music/drums, or individual trackouts when available). If anything is missing, I reach out before starting.
When everything is ready, I build the Atmos mix, place every element in the 3D field, and balance the immersive environment.
A private live link through our OctoGvng WireTap plugin is sent so you can listen directly from the Atmos session and give feedback in real time.
After final placement, I print the ADM master and prepare all platform‑ready deliverables.

Revisions & Scope
If the creative direction changes — new beat, new recordings, added production, or any update to the source material — that becomes new scope, and a change‑order invoice will be sent. Once completed, the additional work is fully accommodated.
No work is refundable.
