For non-realtime (including non-linear, like

need only plugins (ladspa, lv2, vamp) and some editor like Audacity,
mhWaveEdit or something other.
For realtime (also called
non-destructive editing... hm, probably, they are right :) you need
set of various software, that could be used at one time and be
connected each to other).
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.
Audacity is import audio file, apply effect, save project (optional),
export in chosen format. It never replaces the original file.
It IS destructive in that it applies the effect to its imported copy of
the original audio. But that doesn't effect the original file unless you
chose to export to the same location in the same format with the same
filename.
