Do you mean running the same chain on M + S channels? Is this because of latency or something else?
Do you know if there's a plug that will go L/R to M/S to L/R?

I mean running the same chain on the track designated as the "M" channel as you are running on the track designated as the "S" channel.
The Waves S1 Matrix will encode L/R into M and S channels, and several Waves plugs, including the S1 shuffler, will accept an M/S input and automatically encode it back into L/R. What I usually do is bounce the session to disc with the M/S matrix on the master fader. What is then identified as the "left" channel is the middle, and what is identified as the "right" channel is the sides. You create a seperate mono track for each, but run the same plug-in chain on each channel. Running the same plug-in chain helps you avoid phasing issues. On the master fader in the M/S session, I then have an S1 set to M/S input, which encodes the signal back into L/R. This is then typically followed by an L1 or L2, unless the material is to be sent out for mastering.
