Seems odd that they have indeed omitted that preset which perhaps has particular relevance to video people using MS techniques more than most.
The effects have been implemented in the new version in such a way as the presets in the old version can’t readily be copied across, but if you create a session in the old version with any old bit of audio on track one, then set up any effect presets on that track to be copied to the new version, save the session, open it in version 2.0, and save the presets, that way you can translate them without having to write down the settings.

In fact you don’t need to have 1.5 actually installed to upgrade – if it doesn’t find it, it will ask for the serial number.

You might find that saving each channel as a new file, then inserting those into tracks one and two of the multitrack view and manipulating levels and pans there experimentally and non-destructively might be a good approach?
To split the file there are about a dozen possible methods, but one is to highlight just the left half and use File > Save Selection, then the right half.

You should be able to go back to the last saved version of the session. (You have been saving, haven’t you…? And on something like that, you should be saving backup copies of the session and of the wave files too from time to time).
When you did the trim, the session would have ditched the clips that no longer existed (albeit temporarily) in the wave file.
Whether reinserting the file into multitrack view will put it right will depend on exactly what you were doing.
Maybe consider doing all your editing non-destructively in multitrack view in future – experiment with the insert/delete time command – muting can be done with volume envelopes or by splitting the part of the clip concerned and muting the split clip – etc etc

.. though probably the best way to almost do it is with the Centre Channel Extractor in Audition 1.5 – it’s not in previous versions.

It can easily be proved by test inversion that Audition’s hard limiter does nothing to the audio apart from apply the amount of amplification you have specified in the “boost input by” field – except where any transients would exceed the limit you have set. These are momentarily reduced. So inverting the hard limited file against the original with only identical amplification applied will result in silence apart from little clicks and “spitches” where the hard limiter has cut in.
The overall level is higher, and because of the way the ear works it sounds more bassy and fat, just as it would if you simply turned up the volume at the amp. But there has actually been no change in the eq.

Just use edit > insert/delete time.

When you hear this being done on commercial recordings, they have normally had access to the original multitrack material where the voice is on a completely separate track. Audition’s centre channel extractor can produce remarkable results but it’s very dependent on what is in that centre channel along with the voice. Reverberation for instance is likely to be washing around all over the mix.
Sadly you can’t unbake a mixed cake and get the eggs unbroken out of the mix!

The actual playlist has very little function in Audition for most users. Normally you would be creating wave files in edit view comprising all or parts of existing files, (perhaps using File Append to add new files to the end of the current compilation) and then you’d save the whole thing as a new wave file – or else you would do much the same in Multitrack view, dragging and dropping the material as required, then saving the multitrack session file. Next time you open that session, everything you had used would reappear in the state you left it. When finished you would mix the whole thing down to a new wave file.
But simply for compiling files for burning – assuming you are not processing them in any way – any CD burning program would do the job more simply – as Willie has said.

Do all your deletions, then save. Unless you expect your PC to crash at any minute, saving after each operation is indeed a slow way to work.
