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.

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