I've had QC problems with the Waves PS22. It uses phase to widen the stereo field, which Lifetime Network didn't seem to appreciate. This was one of those early in the career gotcha's. Always check phase, and mono. If it's a background, cut it in half, take the second half and use it as the second channel, lining it up with the start of the first. Cut and paste as needed.
"it would be to have 2 different sounds with completely different transients to create the stereo effect."
That would be two mono sources on two different channels. Or two different perspectives of the same source. If you want to create the space for the sound, use panning and a stereo reverb. Use EQ to create distance if needed.
