10 Years Plus Audition (CE) User -- Sorry I Bought Audition CS5.5

Question

I trusted that Audition CS5.5 would be an upgrade to Audition 3, bringing it into the CS Family at a professional level.
After purchasing Prod Premium Upgrade ($400) -- primarily for Audition -- I am very unhappy to discover that is is Audition LE (Light Edition), and in fact is not a version upgrade, but rather it is a version 1.0 program that stole the Audition name as a sales gimic.
Since a major use of Audition for me is fast edits, time stretching, multi-track voice-over with effects, and constant CD burning along the way for reference files, customer samples, rehearsal music, also relying on some of the built-in effects in 3 that are gone-- I find Audition CS5.5 virtually useless.
I already use Cubase as a complement to Audition. A stripped down Audition that doesn't really do anything completely is virtually useless. Obviously I must keep using Audition 3, and unfortunately, Adobe doesn't have a refund policy... just clever sales schemes to trick people once in awhile. This is a shame for a company that generally has outstanding products.
And I am not an outsider. I have used "Audition" since CoolEdit version 1.0 on a daily basis. That's more than ten years at least. It's ridiculous at this stage of the game to be tricked into buying a ver. 1.0 new program by using the established Audition name.

Answer 1

This is ridiculous. You weren't 'tricked' into anything. You deliberately chose not to read any of the volumes of stuff written about this, or avail yourself of the trial version before purchasing. Why on earth would you just 'trust' something when you can obtain real data?
