I came into my office after lunch today to find a copy of the brand-new Classroom in a Book for Audition 2.0 sitting on my chair. It's so hot off the presses I could swear I could feel the heat radiating from it when I picked it up.

For those of you who aren't familiar, the Classroom in a Book series is an Adobe-produced set of training materials that aims to provide a methodical teaching method for learning applications (as opposed to the manuals, which are much more specific how-to and reference oriented.) Chapters even end with review questions and answers for that "I'm back in school" feeling. If only school had always been this fun, huh?

I haven't read it yet, but the CRiaB for version 1.5 got great reviews from a bunch of customers and I know that our QA team scanned through this one during its review process so I think it'll be another great resource for anyone wanting to learn how to use Audition. A list of the chapter titles gives a good idea of what to expect:

• A Quick Tour of Adobe Audition
  
• Audition Basics
  
• Working in Edit View
  
• Working in Multitrack View
  
• Working with Loops and Waves
  
• Noise Reduction
  
• Editing Voices
  
• Mixing and Real-Time Effects
  
• Using Audition's Equalization Tools
  
• Using Audition's Automation Tools
  
• Optimizing Audio for the Internet
  
• Using the CD View
  
• Integrating Adobe Audition and Premiere Pro
  

It looks like there's a confirmed release date of April 19th, and you'll be able to pick it up directly from the Adobe Press or from your favorite book seller.
