“Honoring the original mixes, and the original intention of the sound of these records, which are so loud and explosive, and transferring that to Dolby Atmos was one of the greatest challenges of my career,” Hewitt says. “These records sounded big in the first place, and now they sound even bigger on Apple Music in Spatial Audio while honoring the original spirit of the recordings.”
Hewitt joined Apple Music’s The Matt Wilkinson Show to discuss the project, and their conversation is now available to listen to on demand.
The glistening new mixes have been created especially for Apple Music by Ryan Hewitt, a producer and engineer known for his work with The Lumineers, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Chicks.
They offer fans an opportunity to hear all the band's albums – including their seminal 1994 debut Definitely Maybe and iconic 1995 follow-up (What's The Story) Morning Glory? – in a richer and more immersive way than ever before.
Hewitt said of the epic remixing project: “Honouring the original mixes, and the original intention of the sound of these records, which are so loud and explosive, and transferring that to Dolby Atmos was one of the greatest challenges of my career.
"These records sounded big in the first place, and now they sound even bigger on Apple Music in Spatial Audio whilst honouring the original spirit of the recordings.”
