Here's some links to the software listed below, in no particular order.

You have to pay for these ones.

AUDIO EDITORS: Wavelab, Sound Forge, VEGAS, Audition

These are FREE! :D

Also, here's a list of free VSTs and VSTis!

SEQ = Sequencer
You can create songs with VSTs using a Sequencer. Most of them have audio editing functions as well!

AE = Audio Editor
These programs were made do all sorts of crazy things with sound clips - chop them up, rearrange them, control the volume, things like that. Most of them do NOT have sequencing functions.

VST
These are little programs that you load into Sequencers - they create all sorts of sounds and effects. Not all of the VSTs the artists use are listed - just their favourites.

RF = Refills
These are sound packs and settings for the Reason sequencer.

RI = Reason Instruments
These are synths and stuff built into Reason, as Reason doesn't do VSTs.

HW = Hardware
Stuff like keyboards, mixers, headphones - things you can physically manipulate.

SF = Soundfonts
Kinda like VSTs, but with less control overall.
