how do stereo plugins on mono source

[joeymusicguy]

in cubase i'll put like a stereo doubler on a stereo track but the input source is mono

how do you do this on pro tools
when i try to select the input it only lets me choose a stereo input

route to a stereo bus OR make a stereo track and duplicate the left channel to the right channel

...and IIRC if you use stereo plugins to mono tracks it converts the output to stereo

i think i read on the reaper forum abut a impulse that makes a "mono to stereo" conversion...

edit: just found it

but i never tested it.

hmm but not all plugins have that

for instance, AIR Chorus doesnt have a mono/stereo version

yet if you bus the crap out of it, you can get a mono audio signal to have stereo chorus... (meaning that its possible for the plugin to generate stereo content from a mono source, yet it doesn't have a mono/stereo version)

and the only way i can figure out the bussing is to literally make two tracks...
that would get pretty crazy for all the chorus vocal tracks i do

put in a mono>stereo plugin, such as one of the delays. Now make the plugin inactive. then insert the stereo plugin you want.
