Or have I > misunderstood the purpose of the mono-to-stereo plugin? i didn't read this carefully enough. if you have only one "real instrument" (whatever that means), then you don't have two signals to compare. if you have other tracks with other signals and you want to use them in this way, create, for example, a stereo bus. put the plugin in the bus, connect the output of one track to its first input, and the output of the other thread to its second input. the plugin will get the two signals on its two inputs and voila.
