I'm gearing up to start studying an audio program for some of my stuff , podcast,videocasts, Flash, internet show , ect.. and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the subject? I know the basics, Audition is more professional but steeper learning curve, Soundbooth is the opposite easier to use but not as professional. Any thoughts?
Adobe Audition or Soundbooth?

Why not both? A craftsman has a well-stocked tool kit so he can choose the right tool for the job. For example, I have both Audition and SoundForge
Soundbooth isn't a condensed version of Audition. It has many of the same features, and some of the controls and visuals are common between the two. But whn it comes down to it, Audition is a full multi-track recording, mixing, sequencing, and editing program. Soundbooth is a stereo editing program.
Why keep both around? Sometimes, it's just not worth the time and effort to start up a project in a multi-track DAW to futz around with one, small sound clip. That's where the stereo editor comes into play. Other times, you're going to want to create a soundtrack with layers of audio such as music, VO, and sfx. That's where the DAW comes in.
I have ProTools (and Cubase), along with Soundtrack, but I also have Peak for the simple stuff. They each have their uses.

Agreed. I have a lot of editors of one sort or another in the war chest. Options are good. I'm on Mac so can't make specific PC recommendations. When I was on Windows (Win 98...) SAW was a very good multi track editor and Sound Forge was my stereo editor, still miss parts of both.
