Why does an external stereo audio file become mono when dragged into Ableton?

Post by DuHY » Thu Mar 27, 2025 5:50 am

I have an external audio file, it's stereo, and when I drag it into Ableton's audio track, it becomes mono. But I want it to be stereo and not mono, what do I need to do?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
