This is what I do to make a false-stereo...
I basically work with it in a style like M-S... I duplicate the file to 3
tracks. Pan them Left, Center and Right. Phase reverse the right side and
then delay the sides by half a frame or so. Raise the sides to bring in a
bit of space to the recording. Depending on the type of music, sometimes
adding a bit of reverb can also help. Nice thing is that it still maintains
its mono compatibility.
It isn't perfect, but it is a possibility.
Also, the boxes that Bob Katz has designed also have a good false-stereo
(the K-Stereo and K6 ambience recovery boxes).

Mr. Customer just broght a DAT to to be mastered; Mr. ****head Engineer
only
recorded the left channel of the live performance. (Whatsa meter?)
So, in the old days I'd play a mono track through a Bedini BASE box and
that
worked pretty well for fake stereo; but I sold mine years back. There
doesn't
seem to be a lot of plugins that generate stereo from a mono track
available.
Any ideas?
