Reaper. Easy to learn, powerful, fast and cheap.

I agree.

I liked the simplicity of Audacity, but every change is destructive, so any changes that involve multiple steps are a problem. For example, consider this sequence: 1) remove noise, 2) add reverb 3) change pitch 4) trim ends 5) oh shoot, I want to change reverb settings.

With a full DAW like Reaper, steps 1, 2, and 3 are adding effects but not changing the original audio. So if you want to tweak the settings or remove the effect, it's no problem.

There's many other benefits, but this is the issue that really motivated me to move to Reaper.
