I currently use TwistedWave for my detail editing, and unfortunately it doesn’t provide variable playback speed – I’m stuck at regular playback speed, which is a bit of a bummer. Previously I used Soundforge Pro on my PC and I would usually edit at 1.7x speed.
Chris Webster: “I use Audition and I’m at about 1.5x for pretty detailed editing and audio mastering.”
Britany Felix: “Another vote for 2x editing here. Depending on the quality of the audio and how well the host/guest speaks I’m at 1.5/2:1 for most episodes and I definitely don’t skimp on the editing. I remove/correct a lot of things other editors don’t even notice or think about.”

For Mac if you decided to edit in either Logic or Audacity you can edit high speed. I do this myself as other have said at 1.5-2 to get through everything just a little faster. Audacity actually makes for a pretty good cutting platform other than its very mouse driven. I just recently found the ability to use Varispeed in Logic to adjust playback speed.
Thanks Chris!
I use Audition.
I’ll use high speed to do the initial channel chopping, then normal speed for detailed and then 1.5 for a final run through
