You want to duplicate, but then modify the duplicated track. At least
two things you can try that are often done are to time shift the
duplicate a few milliseconds, or change its speed very slightly
(probably using Effect > Change Speed which changes pitch as well).
Both will make the audio seem "wider" or "more dense".
To do the Time Shift the easiest way is probably to select the duplicate
press HOME to make sure the cursor is at the start, then Generate >
Silence. Use the Context key and choose hh:mm:ss + milliseconds
then you can choose the length of silence to insert at the start.
For Change Speed you only want a change like 0.005 per cent or so.
Also you will want to reduce the gain on each track (ALT + SHIFT +
Down to reduce gain on the focused track) because multiple tracks
always increase the volume.
You could also try both speed change and time shift and use the gain
on each track to adjust how much of each effect goes into the mix.
ALT + SHIFT + Up increases gain on the focused track.
