We shouldn't forget to mention these too:
-Nuendo
-CakeWalk
-Reason
-Reaktor (is that radioactive?)
-Logic

Not that proprietary apps is a reference point, but it seems that's
there are just so many phrases one can make with the words "drum",
"audio", "sound" and "music" in them.

LADSPA plugins tend to be better: "Comb Filter", "Rate Shifter", "Stereo
Reverb". My favourite to date is "Barry's Satan Maximiser", tells me
exactly what to expect...
