Anyone know of a good source for training?
AdobeTV is a little thin on learning Audition and cannot find much out there on a search.

Thanks for the lead.
That Lynda training looks like it is for versions of Audition that are quite a few versions back. The interfaces between 5.5 and those in the training appear quite different.

I wouldn't panic. I am a longtime Cooledit Pro user (what Audtion was called before the Adobe buyout). In fact until I got CS5.5 last month I was using my 9 year old copy of Cooledit Pro under Parallels.

I used to use Cooledit Pro 2.1 very heavily back in the day for radio production. I knew it inside out. On the Mac nothing equalled it so I soldiered on using it under Parallels eding audio for my video work.

While the version with CS5.5 is updated, the principles and many of the functions remain the same despite the fact I jumped forward 9 years. I'm happily using the new version and haven't as much as had to look at the help file. Everything is there. Sure some things have shuffled around but it still feels like Cooledit did from V2 onwards (the last big overhaul before Adobe bought it).

So in short, don't panic. The fundamentals are the same. If you can understand an older version you'll have no problems with the latest and greatest providing you accept some features have been modified.

This is a good, reasonably priced video tutorial that is fairly comprehensive:
