Listen to Crosby Stills and Nash Song Wooden Ships, at the beginning of the song you hear one guy singing on the left and it changes to the right side when the other guy starts to sing. Audition is recording in stereo but it is converting it to left mono and right mono not true stereo.

I'm not sure I understand (I've been recording and producing audio professionally since the mid 70s). I'll assume you've opened a new stereo file to record in, and that you can see the waveform draw as the song records. But, after recording, I don't get what you mean that Audition converts the file to left mono and right mono. What am I missing?

While playing the song and recording it, you can see the wave forms (Left and Right in Editor View) stay consistant even when the voices change from left to right, I can hear the change through head phones and the speakers, but in the reocrding the change does not happen. The sound out of the left and right side are the same, mono, it shouldd'nt be and I am recording in Stereo.

Without being able to see the waveform or hear the audio myself, I can only guess, then, that even though you are recording in a stereo file, Audition's Audio Channel Mapping is not set correctly. If you are correct that the left and right waveforms stay consistant (I'm guessing you mean they appear identical), then you are recording both channels of the record on both audio tracks in Audition, even though you hear stereo while recording.
Go to Audition's Audio Channel Mapping preference panel and make sure that the left and right channels of your source are feeding the corresponding channels in Audition.

Wow, I been using the old Adobe Audition for years, use it at the radio station. They wanted me to start using the latest version and so far I have thought it was pretty cool. But I am learning fast that it is much more intense th edition 1.5.
I looked over the mapping, the mixer I use is a ASIO4ALL and once I changed the Audio hardware to it I now see what I would expect to hear, sound differences in both ears off the recording and also seeing it visually in the waveform.
It has created other issues. Now I can't record right off the internet,,,, interesting program. I can see it isn't plug and play and will take me some time to get it all straight.
I will win though,,,,
Thanks Mike for pointing me in the right direction.

So, after hours of changing settings moving things around it is now in stereo. I'm sure most of you knew this but I'll throw it out there anyway, for us folks that are not quite as savvy about all this.
#1 after making changes in audio channeling, close the program and reboot. The setting didn't stick until booted.
#2 is that I don't believe you can play and record on the same device. I added another source with the song on it and it is now in stereo.
Learning curve.

You would really do yourself a big favor by getting hold of the user manual (also called a guide or reference) for the version of Audition you now have. Not only will it teach you any basics you may not yet know, it will also show you the various features that will make your work easier and save a bunch of time (and you'll have less frustration). Or, visit and bookmark this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/audition/user-guide.html
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "play and record on the same device," but my computer's audio interface is the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. It has two mic/line inputs, a USB jack (to connect to the computer) and a pair of line outputs. In my case, the line outputs are connected to a pair of amplified speakers. The Scarlett 2i2 (like most other similar devices) allows me to record to and play from Audition, and it also plays all audio generated by my computer (apart from Audition) because I have that device selected (in my computer's preferences) as the default audio input and output device.
I think, once you've spent some time getting to know the interfacing between your computer, its audio device and Audition's settings, you might be very pleasantly surprised.
