[Solved] Speeding up song "Ctrl+click+drag" no longer works.
A few years ago I asked about methods for speeding a song up and Craig Anderton offered an excellent method for doing this with Ctrl+click+drag. I tried it again recently and it no longer works. All it does now is shorten the end of the clip. I'm using the latest version Of Sonar Platinum. I've done a search to see if there is any updated information regarding this method, but have found nothing. Is there a new step that I'm missing? I need to be able to speed songs up without changing the pitch.

I believe that Ctrl was replaced with Shift a few months back. Does Shift+drag on the clip end work?
ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi AC), i7-8700k, 16GB RAM, GTX-1070Ti, Win 10 Pro, Saffire PRO 24 DSP, A-300 PRO, plus numerous gadgets and gizmos that make or manipulate sound in some way.

I just tried it using Shift, but that doesn't work either. I even tried holding both Ctrl +Shift down with no success.

The shortcut was changed from CTRL+DRAG to CTRL+SHIFT+DRAG, it's working here, if it's not for you there must be something else going on. Is the clip locked or frozen?

No, it's not frozen, and I don't think it's locked (not sure what that is). It's the mixed down stereo track from using Bounce to Tracks. I've been selecting it (highlighted) then trying the CTRL+SHIFT+DRAG trick, but it only rolls the clip back and cuts off the ending. EDIT: Never mind. the problem is solved (thanks to you guys). I was assuming that because it was cutting off the ending that it wasn't working since it didn't do that before, but when released the "clicked" mouse the ending reappeared with the shortened track intact. Thanks to everyone for helping me with this.  Now I need to know the trick for marking the title of this thread as solved.

Just open your first post and add "solved" in the title.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

you do have to drag from the bottom half of the clip edge, btw, but ctrl+shift should time stretch your clip [edit] I was wrong, you can drag from anywhere with ctrl+shift and it stretches the clip - however the wave form doesn't look like it is being stretched until you release the mouse button after stretching

Don't forget to bounce the clip to itself to render the changes using the high-quality offline stretching algorithm.
