It can't be done, for the simple reason that true stereo contains informati=
on, in the form of timing and/or amplitude differences between the 2 channe=
ls, which define positions within the left-right panorama, which do not exi=
st at all in a singular mono track. Nothing can subsequently restore that m=
issing information to define any sort of accurate representation of left-ri=
ght location of sound sources.
