<p>Fat chance :-(. I forgot who told me what finally convinced
Apple managers to go with SoundCheck on by default. I think it was
the -18 LUFS Atmos introduction and the level jumps related to
that. <br>

Dear friends,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I had a conversation with Buddy. This is
the situation:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- Apple Music is now LUFS in stead of
‘SoundCheck’. The track normalization target is -16
LUFS - which is compatible with td1008! Album
normalization is still -16 LUFS for the average album
level, like it used to be with SoundCheck - which is
not compatible with td1008… Buddy is pushing for
adopting td1008 on this aspect too. For me it is very
important because we want to tell the world that
there’s just 1 method now. But at least they have come
halfway.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- Normalization is now ON by default
because the loudness jump from -6 LUFS pop material to
Atmos mixes and back was too much for the managers. So
it was Dolby Atmos that finally solved it (how
ironic).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- Apple Music does not switch the sample
rate of a connected sound card automatically, like for
instance the Tidal app does. In my opinion this is
quite ignorant when streaming lossless high res audio
quality. According to Buddy the topic was on the
agenda, but considered just as a ‘nice to have’. Small
chance it will be solved soon.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- Apple Music is now also open for Android
and web browsers (<a href="https://music.apple.com/"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">Web Player</a> and <a
href="https://developer.apple.com/musickit/"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">MusicKit</a>) but
lossless and Atmos is not supported via these channels
because of DRM… This will hopefully be solved later.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">All the best,</div>
<div class="">Eelco</div>
