How to Slow Down a Portion of a clip on audition without changing the rest of the clip?

[Ben22016351usrh]

Hi everyone, 

I have been trying to slow down a portion of an audio clip in adobe audition but everytime I do so, I get a warning symbol and the rest of the selections I have pulled from the longer clip change and are no longer the same portions I selected. 

I have been pulling a few seconds from a longer clip, going to waveform, selecting the section of the clip I want to change only, and then slowing the section down -- elongating the clip -- using the "Time and Pitch" effect. When I go back to multitrack view and click on other sections I have pulled out of the longer clip, they are no longer the same moments, but have been moved back or forward in relation to the longer clip. Also, every portion of the clip has a yellow warning symol on it. 

Is there a way to change the speed of a certain copied portion of a clip without it effecting the other sections of the clip, or even better, without it effecting the clip the section was copied from at all? 

Thank you for the help! I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong!

Hightlight the piece you want to alter, and copy it. Paste it to a new track and stretch it. That will leave the original clip intact. All you have to do now is silence the original section you made the copy from, which you can do using the volume envelope.

The reason you were having trouble is that Multitrack view is only a 'virtual' editor - anything you do to a file destructively (in Waveform view, in other words) will alter the way it plays in Multitrack. Multitrack is at heart not much more than a sophisticated file player; it doesn't destroy or alter anything about the files it plays.

So what you are doing is starting another playback instance of the file, but slowing down the playback of it.
