Horizontal scrolling speed

I've never used Shift + Scroll Wheel, but I do only use Logitech mice (currently M510) that allow the scroll wheel to tilt for horizontal scrolling (side to side scrolling).  After swapping from Mac (CS5.5) to PC (CC) at work, my fast horizontal scroll speed became broken and has been driving me nuts.

What worked for me was installing the "Logitech Options" utility.  I did not have to alter any settings, it just started working correctly again.  One tilt click = one step.  Hold the tilt and it scrolls quickly.  For instance, I can now scroll across a 9 min clip at 100% zoom (10 zoom steps) in 6 secs.  200% at 16 secs.

I also found that holding down the middle mouse button allows you to pan the waveform while dragging & speed is dependent on how fast you move the mouse.  This method is similar to panning in Photoshop while holding the Space Bar.

Either method allows me to stay positioned over the waveform and not have to use the slider up top.

Hope this helps!!!!

It seems that we might be left to our own devices with this one so I came up with a simple AutoHotkey script that will boost horizontal scrolling speed to your liking – just change 10x below to anything you like. Compile and add to Windows autostart for best experience.

I've made a suggestion in the Uservoice forums for this. Please vote up to get it implemented!

Adjustable horizontal scrolling speed – Adobe video & audio apps

I can't believe it's 2018 and this STILL SUCKS. If you're not using an Apple Magic Mouse horizontal scrolling is PAINFULLY SLOW with shift-scrolling.

Just wanted to pile on - 7 years and counting. This is actually a big speed bump at such a low level of the workflow pyramid (basic navigation) as to be a huge nuisance. @_durin_ any news?

We still really need this included in Audition.  It'd be a great quality of life improvement.  As of Dec 2017 this still hasn't been implemented in Audition.

Please fix this!  There have been over 6 years of complaints about this!  Just give us the option to increase scrolling speed using the mouse scroll.

moving quickly through an audio clip is impossible with the current method. Even better would be to allow middle mouse clicking and dragging the view along. Other Adobe software also uses this method. Please implement a better way of horizontally navigating

I'm still using Audition 3.  There a held wheel-click will scroll up and down the waveform at a speed governed by how far from the centre the mouse cursor is.  Very simple and efficient.  I use it all the time when editing.  Is was dropped in the next version and I'm still waiting for it to appear in a new version.  I might update then!

Yeah this is really killing me.  I'm a longtime Adobe user with premiere and AE, and actually have used Audition a bunch for audio cleanup utilizing their dynamic link.  I had always just used old Audacity for quick VO records on a separate older machine because it was fast and worked.  I decided that was ridiculous and that I should just dig into Audition. 

I'm so shocked that the ridiculous thing maybe has turned out to be Audition itself.  Anyone trying to quickly record and edit audio, particularly for a VO scenario where you're moving all around a single track and cutting and pasting and recording over a single track, well, the horizontal speed makes this super frustrating. 

There's another element of this which is that not only is it slow but it sort of lags.  On Audacity, the realtime speed of scroll meant that I was able to develop and intimate awareness of where I was around a given audio track, essentially feeling my way around the track just by the coordination of scroll and the waveform cues, but with this lag, this slowness, I've got no idea where I am anymore.

I feel like I've got to be wrong about this, because this issue was started like 5+ years ago and Adobe is so great about updates.  But what a death blow if this is really how it is.
