Regarding the effect of a sound source moveing around you 360 degrees?
You might be able to simulate this effect using  phase modulation of each 
channel.  You can do this by putting a small delay on both channels, and 
then using an LFO to gently modulate the delay time slightly, with the 
modulation of one channel inverted.  So, as the LFO  wave form increases, 
the modulation will extend the delay on one channel, and retard it on the 
other.  Then, on the opposite half of the LFO waveform, the effect is 
reversed.  And, the modulation amplitude needs to be pretty small.  Some 
delays may not give you fine enough resolution to make the small change you 
need, probably no more than a millisecond or so of modulation.  But, this 
will simulate the change in phase between your two ears as you turn your 
head.
That might be enhanced by also putting a panner in series with this, with 
the LFO in sync with the phase modulator LFO.  .  But, the main point is 
that, what makes things sound in front of you , or behind you, is 
differences in relative phase, and not so much amplitude.
But another phenomenon is equalization.  Your ears focus forward, especially 
for high frequencies, while sounds behind  will be slightly dampened in the 
highs.
So, you might as well put your dynamic EQ to work, with the high bands being 
modulated by the LFO as well.
Anyway,  it's something to experiment with.
Or, you can just find a pluggin that does the whole schmere and be done with 
it.  <grin>
Who needs experimentation anyway. where's the fun in that?
