Converting a Mono Track to Stereo with Pro Tools?

[CraigD]

Besides creating a duplicate track and copying them both to a stereo track, does anyone know how to convert a mono track to a stereo track with Pro Tools LE?

Thanks!

The opposite is easy, - but what you are asking, I for one don't see how you could possibly create a true stereo image with individual pans etc. from a mono track. Maybe someone else knows better. But if you are talking about a single voice/instrument mono track you can get a good stereo image using ADT (artificial double tracking). There is a good recipy for this using the short delay II (mono/stereo) plugin on your track in the "Rubber Soul" thread in this forum. I tried it on guitars and vocals, it sounds great.

Hope this is of use, or that you get more advice.

Cheers!

You might also try sending the track to two aux tracks. Using an eq, you can try to isolate a different instrument as much as possible on each track, then pan that. It probably won't sound great, but it could seperate parts of the track anyway.
