mono -> stereo. How to do it in PT?
 
Hi!

How to make a mono track stereo. I can of cause duplicate the track, but I want to make it stereo. It will of cause be "double mono", but this way I can process them on same track and at the same time make it wide.

Many times when you are about to insert a plugin on a mono track you are given two options, mono and mono-stereo, use the latest

It really depends on what the end goal is. Making a mono sound have width is tricky(at best) and some things might not translate well if the final mix gets played back on a mono system(the track might simply sound mono, or it might disappear due to phase cancellation). Duplicating by itself does nothing. If you take the duplicate and nudge it in time(600-1600 samples) will help some. Using Elastic Pitch to change the pitch slightly(6-11 cents sharp or flat) will help some. If you are the player, then double-track the part. If its a guitar track, play it again. If its an electric guitar part, change amp settings or use a different guitar or pickup setting. If its a vocal part, double-tracking is the ideal way. There are some plugins that create a double so you might demo some of those and print the results(Izoptope Vocal Doubler, ReVoice Pro and Sonnox Voxdoubler are 3 options).

Mono Electric guitar tracks will work great without doubling if you pan to one side and send to a mono reverb on the opposite side(Dverb works nicely). remember to use a MONO AUX track for this:o

Unless you want to take advantage of a certain plugin's built in stereo features

Plugin Alliance bx_stereomaker is my go to usually.

There's also Schoeps Mono Upmix

For something free, grab WIDER from Polyverse

Also, if you just duplicate your mono track and pan full LEFT/RIGHT, you'll still be right down the middle, just louder. Check it on a scope.
