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!

How do you know it's mono?

Signals in the track’s device chain are always stereo

I used MESD to analyse sound track.I If I only open "SIDE MUTE"mode , there is no voice going out from this track

SRY! I use the Utility mono Mode to listen the track! OK there is no problem!
