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 channels, =
which
define positions within the left-right panorama, which do not exist at all =
in a
singular mono track. Nothing can subsequently restore that missing informat=

to define any sort of accurate representation of left-right location of sou=

sources.
