That's not true. The number of tracks on the original master
tape is immaterial - different sources are recorded to separate
tracks on multitrack tape so that they can be processed in
isolation from the others. Such recordings only become 'stereo'
recordings when they are mixed into two channels, intended to
provide a stereo mix when played through left & right speakers.

6-track master would be a 'hexaural' recording.
