Indie labels get Dolby Atmos boost

We’re excited to announce an exclusive partnership with The American Association of Independent Music (A2IM), whose mission is to promote growth, awareness and opportunities for American independent music labels and artists, through advocacy, education and community.

With spatial audio tracks being prioritized and valued by Apple Music (the 2nd streaming platform in market share) with 10% bonus payout in royalties, a revenue increase opportunity is to be leveraged for artists.

However, the problem lies in the heavy lift for independent labels and artists to deliver in multiple formats, let alone spatial audio. And mastering existing tracks in Dolby Atmos format requires a double investment (time and money with a certified engineer) which is simply out of reach for these businesses. Through Amplify Studios, this exclusive discount will help provide affordable Dolby Atmos mixing services to record labels that are members of A2IM.

At $65 a track, this service offers an impressive solution for independent labels. They deliver the same high-quality Dolby Atmos as traditional studios but at a fraction of the cost, which means labels can invest more in what truly matters – creating great music.

Dr. Richard James Burgess, President and CEO of A2IM

We're thrilled to partner with A2IM and support independent artists. Our mission has always been to democratize access to cutting-edge audio technologies. This partnership is a step forward in leveling the playing field for independent artists and labels.
