If you are working on an edit with a lot of audio tracks that involve mostly stereo audio pairs, you might find it useful to change the audio track labels from the default sequential naming convention to paired.

You can change this setting in the Sequence Settings > Timeline Options menu:

Then the audio track names will change accordingly:

    Thank you for the tip. What I would like to see is another list that has for example, A1L,A1R, A2L, A2R, etc. I work in
