Adobe Auditon 3

Not only does Audition 3 have extremely flexible "board" with all the controls you could ever need, you can move volume, pan and effects controls as you listen and record your changes in real-time. As you move the controls Audition records the changes while you listen and appear as editable envelopes in the time line.

Speaking of effects, this system comes with more than 50 real-time audio effects like echo, flange and reverb, plus new effects, including Convolution Reverb, Analog Delay and Tube-Modeled Compressor. You can add the effects to the master channel and hear the results before mixing down to a single file. You'll like the "Guitar Suite Effects", analog-modeled guitar effects you can use with guitars or other instruments. You can also manipulate recordings with digital signal processing (DSP) tools, mastering and analysis tools and some nifty audio restoration features.
