Remove pitch change when using shuttle

I'd like the shuttle to work like Premiere Pro's that doesn't change the pitch when I speed up the audio playback. This would help me edit so much faster.

Simple - the corporate users clearly see no need for it. Unfortunately they are the ones that count...

I do podcast editing and scrubbing audio would be so much easier if this was a feature

YES! Come on Adobe! People have been asking for this for years! For anyone who edits podcasts this would be such a huge time saver! I've actually tried other tools because of this—though I keep coming back to audition because I'm so familiar with all the other tools and workflow and its included with my Creative Cloud subscription.

Feature request submitted for scrubbing without pitch change, a la Premiere-style scrubbing, as well as options for default playback speed.

This should be THE main feature to add in the next release. It is common place in nearly every audio editor out there except Audition. This seems like a basic feature that is missing.

As i'm not much of an Audition user, i was absolutely shocked at this. What a mess. Please fix this.

This is my current workaround:

I go into Properties, enable stretch (Realtime) and set it at about 60%. I listen through and make all my edits. Then I highlight all the affected clips, and drag the triangle located at the top right of the last clip til it’s back to 100%. (I believe these triangles get enabled by one of the icons above the first track’s mute and solo buttons.)

To get the speed perfectly restored, I then put it exactly to 100% within the properties menu. (Setting it to 100% in the menu before dragging messes up the layout of the clips).

Hope this helps.
