How can you tell if you have a stereo audio track in your project?

In AVID Media Composer, the presence of two speaker icons on the track selector indicates that you are dealing with a stereo audio track. Stereo audio consists of two channels—left and right—allowing for a more immersive listening experience. The two speaker icons visually represent the dual output channels of a stereo audio track, which is essential for creating depth in sound and enabling more sophisticated audio mixing options.

This visual distinction helps users quickly identify whether they are working with mono or stereo tracks, facilitating better planning and execution of audio arrangements. Having this information at your fingertips is crucial during the editing process to ensure the right audio configurations are maintained throughout the project.
