Good audio tools

Okay so I need some almost pro or pro level audio mixers(in short= good ones). Not any audio tables but programs ofc where you can modify sounds A LOT and add effects etc. So please share your info if you know anything that is good.

Thanks

I've used Cubase a fair bit. Some will argue it's not the best, but I'd say it can do a professional quality job for sound recording, editing and processing.

Adobie Audition is the Photoshoph of sound. I can not tell you all the features but a few that I use a lot are: removing background noise, Speeding up and slowing down music with out changing pitch, the editor is an easy cut and paste, and the mulit tracking is amazing, it has a many built in plugins.

It used to be called Cool Edit pro before adobe bought it and I kind ok liked Col Edit better but I was unsed to it.

LMMS is an open source version of Fruity Loops... works on Windows as well.

Only one I've needed personally, and it's free.

Goldwave and Audacity are my favorites.

Okay thanks for help. I knew Audacity already but others were new to me!
