How do I disable one of the stereo channels in spectral frequency display to expand my view?

currently, it looks like this:

I want it to look like this without making the sound mono:

it's just wasting too much space and I'm already having a hard time selecting things properly.

I currently have the 2018 cc version

    Unfortunately there is no way that I know of in any version of Audition. However you can zoom in on both the time and frequency axis to make what you want to select larger. Also changing the Log/Linear nature of the frequency scale and the Spectral Resolution of the display can make it easier to see different types of audio phenomena.

    That's weird, especially since the selection gets mirrored on both channels anyway so this doesn't have any practical use other than making sure your selection is safe on them both. it definitely needs to be optional imo.

    thank you for your tips

    That's not true - each channel is separate, and if you are trying to do things like eliminating unequal spectral effects, it's essential. So if you have two non-identical channels (ie, stereo) then you need to see both of them in order to operate sensibly.
