Option to Hide One Channel in Stereo Waveform Display in Timeline

Premiere Pro currently displays both Left and Right channels for stereo audio clips in the timeline waveform view. This is often unnecessary and visually cluttered, especially when only one channel is relevant (e.g., dual-mono interview tracks, camera scratch audio, or boom/lav recordings with split tracks).

Request:
Please add a simple toggle or preference that allows users to hide either the Left or Right channel in the stereo waveform display, or to show just a mono/mixed waveform without needing to collapse the track height or remap channels.

Why this matters:

• It’s difficult to work efficiently with stereo clips that only use one channel.

• Reducing waveform clutter improves timeline readability and precision.

• Audio interpretation workarounds are destructive or time-consuming.

• Collapsing track height is not a viable solution for serious audio work.

Ideal Implementation:

• Right-click clip or track option: “Display Left Only / Right Only / Mix / Stereo”

• Global preference for default waveform display mode

• Non-destructive (doesn’t alter audio channel configuration)

This would significantly improve workflow for editors who regularly work with dual-mono audio or multi-mic setups. Thank you for considering this!

P.S. I've spent hours searching for a workaround or plugin to solve this, and it’s clear that no such feature currently exists in Premiere Pro. After many years of using Adobe’s product suite, I’m seriously considering switching to a competing platform if this issue isn’t addressed. It’s a surprisingly basic and frustrating limitation that significantly impacts my workflow.
