comment An open source sound editor, but not Audacity?
Ardour is the best solution for a pro or serious hobbyist. It is way more complicated to use than Audacity because it is meant to be an open source Pro Tools replacement and it does that very well.

comment Demo samples of common effect presets
Great points. The variations for effects are endless. Examples from client's material or referencing well-known songs seems like the best way to do it. What might be useful is a neutral hand clap (or other appropriate sound) with a "typical" or default setting applied for each common effect. So the client can understand "this is delay" or "this is reverb" or this is "flange". Something that could be used for basic client education.

comment What hardware units should I have in my arsenal?
+1 I have a rack full of signal processing gear I no longer use because the results are better with the software plugins.

comment Sequencer/DAW with a decent Notation/Score Editor?
+1 I have used Cakewalk (in the "old days"), Cubase and Pro Tools and Logic's piano roll and score editors are both really nice tools within a great overall package. But like Ian says, the Logic way of working takes some getting used to.

comment What is a balanced input / output?
Nice explanation, Joel. I especially like the D&D style signal to noise descriptions. :-)
