Selecting Channels in Audio Files

In the Audio Editor, you can select individual channels, both channels of a stereo file, or channel clusters of a multichannel audio file. This allows you to apply an operation to one channel only, to both channels of a stereo file, or to channel clusters of a multichannel file.

Choices

Which channel is selected when you click in the Waveform window of the Audio Editor depends on where you click.

The edit cursor shows which channel is selected. The mouse pointer indicates which channel is affected.
- To select the left channel, click the upper half of the left channel.
- To select both channels, click the middle area between the left and the right channel.
- To select the right channel, click the lower half of the right channel.
To switch from selecting all channels to selecting individual channels, and vice versa, when you click in the Audio Editor, click Toggle Channel Selection Mode to the left of the timeline.
To move the edit cursor to the next/previous channel, press Alt-Page Down or Alt-Page Up.
