Apple Music ADM BWF Delivery & QC

Rejection-proof Apple Music delivery — correct ADM BWF structure, metadata, loudness and binaural rendering, verified before it leaves our studio.

Apple Music is the largest immersive audio catalog in the world, and it is also the strictest about how files arrive. A single metadata error or loudness miss can send a release back days before street date.

What we verify

  • ADM BWF structure, bed and object configuration
  • Dolby Atmos metadata, binaural render modes and object distances
  • Integrated loudness against Apple's specification
  • Sample rate, bit depth and channel assignment
  • Spatial and stereo version alignment

Delivery package

You receive the certified ADM BWF, a QC report documenting every measured value, a binaural reference render, and the matching stereo deliverable — packaged so your distributor can upload without follow-up questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ADM BWF file?

ADM BWF is the master deliverable format for Dolby Atmos. It carries the audio beds and objects along with the metadata describing where each sound sits in three-dimensional space.

Why do Atmos deliveries get rejected?

Most rejections come from metadata errors, incorrect loudness, wrong bed configuration or mismatched sample rates. Our QC pass checks each of these before delivery.

Can you QC files I already have?

Yes. We regularly audit finished ADM BWF files from other studios and return a report with any corrections required for acceptance.

Do you handle the upload to Apple Music?

We prepare and verify the delivery package. Upload is handled by your distributor, and our QC report gives them everything needed to submit without queries.
