Audition CS6 Time Expansion / Compression

Question

I work in a broadcast environment (radio). We use Audition CS6 in all of our production studios. All output from Audition must be either MP3 with a sample rate of 44100 Hz, stereo 16-bit or WAV files. Promos and underwriting announcements are typically 30-second and occasionally 60-seconds in length. Other segments range from a few minutes to a max of 58 minutes. What ever the length, it must be exact. For example a half hour segment targeted to run for 29:00.000 may end up 28:57.043 or 29:03.495. How can do I expand or compress the time of a session without altering the pitch? Sessions may be either single mono tracks or multichannel stereo tracks. This has become an urgent situation for us due to the installation of a new automation system that requires exact times and does not provide this time squeeze/expand feature.

Answer 1

Should be straightforward. Effects>Time and Pitch> Stretch and Pitch (process).
Use Radius, and simply put in the new duration on the RHS - no sums involved!
Set the precision to High, and make sure that there isn't a check in the pitch shift box - so the pitch shift always stays at 0 semitones. Then, all you will get is a stretch (or shrink if you over-run). You may also want or need to play with the options in the Advanced settings as well, but that's the basics of it.
Or just look at the answer in your other thread that I've just noticed...
