Audition Paintbrush grayed out?

Why is the paintbrush for Adobe Audition grayed out?

I understand that some tools are only available in Multitrack Mode, but the paintbrush is used for altering the SPECTRAL AUDIO! It SHOULD be available to use in Waveform mode. 

 

And even when I go into Multitrack mode, it is STILL grayed out!

 

Why is this and how do I fix it?

Probably because you're in Spectral Pitch display, not Spectral Frequency - it has no use in Spectral Pitch. Neither do Marquee, Lasso or the Spot Healing Brush, so they're all greyed out in this mode. And it's always greyed out in Multitrack.

The fix? Click on Spectral Frequency to get the tools back.
