real-time effects processing and non-destructive editing often go hand
in hand, but note that

"non-destructive" means that the original [audio] data will never be
modified. Any edit/effect/modifications are saved as new files (or
remebered as application-settings operating on the original data).

audio-editors (rezound, audacity, sweep, etc) are usually destructive:
  load file, apply effect, save file -> original file is gone.

DAWs (ardour, qtractor, ecasound,..) are non-destructive:
  reference file, apply effect or modifications to data
but to save the resulting audio, you need to bounce the track or export
the session.
