Cubase problem with mono/stereo channels

[Maor]

here's a good one:
lets say i have a mono audio channel. why does it sum it to mono on output?
as far as i can see there are 2 meters jumping together for this channel, and its going to stereo out- so why sum it?

if you want an example, lets say i take this mono channel, and insert a stereo delay (like the Waves mono->stereo FX).
the output should be different from left to right, but still it sums it up and goes out as a mono channel.

only option is to add a new stereo track and copy the audio there, or open a send FX.

is there any way to have mono channels that send stereo outputs?

Mono tracks send a stereo signal. Well, left and right. Sending to a stereo FX track is exactly what you would want to do in order to get a stereo effect. Inserting a stereo effect on a mono channel, well it just don't make sense why you would try. Send to an FX channel man.

Either send it to an effects channel, or if you must insert it, you will need to add a stereo channel and move your mono audio to it.
