You can't really comp in maya, that may be why you can't get any tutorial's on it. You need a software like After Effect's or Shake for true comping movie style, or photoshop for 2d.

It is easy to miss the sound in after effects. Because for some reason it is not switched on by default. If you create a movie zou will have to go into the compressor settings (i think) and check the sound box at the bottom.
But I would not even bother doing my sound in aef since it's kinda wired. I'd always use an editing app.
