For the earlier upmixes they turned to Chace Audio, who specialize in separating sounds in existing mixes for stereo/surround remixing. For those upmixes at least they reportedly used the recordings from the soundtrack album together with the existing dialog and FX stems, largely ditching the mono music stem from the original mix.











I really need to put some money together and get me an Oppo. This is one of my top ten favorite movies of all time and I'm relegated to sd quality for now.
