Is it possible to change speed of a SELECTED PORTION of a track /in multitrack? in waveform?

Question

Thaat's my question. There's an adorable default effect which will stretch the audio, but only to slowit down. So will it be necessary. for me to chop up my clip and extract the section I want to speed up a little bit without changing pitch (like I can do in Audacity using the "tempo" filter). And then open it in multi track to get the global stretch thing and the properties thing.... Whewww. ?? And then put that bit back into the clip I took it from???  It's like three WORDS in a talking track. If there's no alternative I'll wait and put that. track into audacity and use the "tempo" filter on my. selection. Surely a cool app like Audition willlet me do it? Or a plugin?

You appear to be trying to make this too complicated! Double-click on the clip or track and open it in Waveform view. Highlight the words you want to alter and then use Effects>Time and Pitch>Stretch and Pitch. Here you can speed them up, slow them down either with or without pitch alterations. Play about with it until it sounds the way you want and then go back to Multitrack and there it will be - just the way you did it. At some stage you will be asked to save the changes to the file you did this to, so if you are going to do this, make sure it's a copy you are working on rather than the original - otherwise you'll lose the unaltered version. In an ideal world, you should only be editing copies anyway, of course...

In Audacity use TIME TRACK. and it is FREE. Incredibly annoying that audition still do not have such simple feature.
