Stereo file used for Front L & Front R channels
Center channel includes only a few instruments (piano), slightly off-sync on purpose
For Rear channels, the original file was given added reverb with wet out only (to simulate a large hall), then several instruments were added back in dry to each channel (including some bass) - to unlocate them.
LEF Channel is a composite of all other channels run through a high-shelf filter
