All the Atmos PR and descriptions talk about "objects," but they never say how those objects' sounds are separated from the others' in the datastream. How can, for example, 56 waveforms be carried independently in one stream?

The use of Atmos in music is just plain bad. How many pop recordings are actually mixed for Atmos? I can't imagine that it's as many as Apple is presenting "in Atmos" on Apple Music. So is there some post-processing BS going on, a la "Q-Sound" and other fake surround over the past few decades?

Here's an example of Atmos messing up music. It's too bad it happens, too, because the Atmos versions of songs seem to be less dynamically compressed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUgfp6mFG2E
