Hey hey,
I'm currently working on a few delays in Csound. I have a simple mono in
-> stereo out ping-pong delay, which was easy. Even after some research
I am uncertain how exactly to route and delay a stereo input version of
that.
I'm actually quite a fan of this kind of delay especially for
'electronic' sounds (but not only). Personally I find that if a signal
is stereo it would be good to have the dry signal remain stereo and then
just sum it and feed it into the mono input of the delay.
IMHO the effect (re)creates a new stereo 'space' so trying to preserve
the stereo information might be less relevant on the wet signal.
What I also like sometimes is to add a reverb after the delay, both on
the dry signal (and in that case you still have some of the stereo
information) and on the delayed signal.
For example with the above, say I have a (dry) instrument panned quite
hard left or right, I'd send that to the delay and preserve the stereo
panning on the dry, then the stereo delay will do its own stereo 'thing'
and, possibly, the reverb will add a particular atmosphere.
As Fons also suggested this also really depends on the effect / result
you are trying to achieve
