You are wrong, johnm8812866. The question there is about "Spectral pitch display", however, the main answer mistakenly about "Spectral Frequency Display". What and how is depicted on the Spectral Pitch Display, how to interpret colors, lines, what conclusions can be drawn from this about sound, how and in what operations of sound processing it can be used, etc. Strange, Adobe doesn't say a word about this in online materials.

To elaborate on this slightly - you will note that if you select it, all of the editing tools are greyed out. This is because it's not possible to select anything meaningful from the display at all. All it will do is display an instantaneous pitch level that it thinks is the predominant one (generally it isn't) and a limited resolution spectral frequency display.

It's not very often I can say that something in Audition is completely useless, but this pretty much is, I'm afraid. Indeed I'd be quite intrigued if anybody could give me a single legitimate use for it, because I can't think of one.

Spectral Pitch Display is sometimes an easier tool for finding noises I need to remove in a documentary or on-location type of single take live dialogue recording. I really wish I could use the lasso tool there, because I have to use that to spot the noise easily, then it is a best effect isolation of color temperature I'm left to work with on the Spectral Frequency Display. I can never make as perfect a selection as I could if I were able to actually use both displays for editing, instead of having one only for reference.
