How can hide this label? it annoys me when I have to display the waveform at the beginning (timeline). Attention I don't want to hide the name of the audio resource, but the label that indicates the audio channel or L R (Can.1, Can.2, L R) see image:

Tanks for reply.

Hi! You can now hide the channel labels in the timeline:

Thanks for your thoughts on this and that's definitely a helpful suggestion, however it doesn't work for the many of us who are dealing with lots of tracks of audio and like to keep our tracks collapsed, like so:

 

 

In my example here I'm going to end up with many audio tracks and I don't want to have to expand this A1 track in order to turn on the track names, which now actually make the waveforms nearly unusable as it significantly reduces their size compared to what used to happen in prior versions of Premiere where, yes, the track name would be in the way, but the audio waveform across the remainder of the track were unaffected.

 

It's really just that these channel numbers need to go or least be offered a toggle to turn them on or off. If Premiere has the power to intelligently extend video clips by 3 seconds out of thin air I'm certain we can get this teensy little UI thing implemented.

Picture of the show audio names toggle working, since I can't edit my previous post (why Adobe?)

Best option for now (as of Premiere v.24.6.5 and later) toggling "Show Audio Names" makes the waveform a little smaller but gets rid of the Ch. label at a certain track height. Any higher and they reappear, but its a decent bandiad fix until this becomes a toggle.

Just popping in to once again furher reiterate how ridiculous it is that we cannot turn these off, and how utterly useless they are to our day to day workflows.

We would still love to be able to turn these flags off!
