How do you gradually slow down a track?

As far as I can tell, it should work the same way as gradually changing pitch. On Adobe Audition CS6 on a Mac, gradually changing pitch is as simple as using the Time and Pitch > "Time and Stretch (process)" under the Effects menu, then switching from the iZotope plugin to the Audition plugin, and adjusting the beginning pitch and final pitch over the selected audio. Why doesn't this work with the time? I'm trying to slow down a piece of audio gradually, but it doesn't seem to work.

Correct answer _durin_

There are a few ways to slow a portion of a track down. Use Effects > Time & Pitch > Stretch and PItch (process). If you choose the Audition algorithm, you can perform a gliding stretch which will let you stretch from 100% (normal playback) up to 800% (8x slower) over time.

If you're using Audition CC, the Pitch Bender effect will allow you to keyframe the slowdown on screen so you can draw the curve and duration you want directly on the waveform.

I would like to have the same BPM in a WAV file.
It is a live recording that slows down from a certain point on; of course pitch ought to remain the same.
Is there any way to do that?
Thanks!

The Doppler Effect is actually coming out quite nicely now. I can just layer it on pieces of audio ever closer to the end, for example, to get a full drop-off of sound, particularly in the bass, or pump beats in and out. The plugins are doing excellent as well, so I'll have a full array of different options to present. Hopefully a consenus can be reached as to what effects to go with. Thanks for everything guys! If you ever find that "Cutting Power" preset, let me know, I'd love to try it and add it to the list.

You could possibly try Waves Doppler or even

And another FX plugin that does tapestop:

Do you just want the speed to vary or the pitch as well? Try the "Cutting Power" preset to see if that does what you expect and then adjust from there.

Where is the "Cutting Power" preset? I can't seem to find it. It is a plugin you have?
