Works for me. I just dropped a video on the timeline in Vegas Pro 13.0, selected the audio and pressed the equal key (=/+) a few times and got the +1, +2, +3 indicator that the pitch was shifting. It says +/- but to actually type a plus you need to use the Shift key but to shift the pitch you press the plus key without using Shift which is really the equal key at that point. (same key just without shift). but if you use this in Vegas Pro 11 I’m sure you already knew this.
Not sure why it’s not working for you.
