If you're on a Mac you have limited choices to be honest, but there are plenty of excellent applications that will allow you to do what you want to do. Given the right hardware, you can do a lot. You will need to understand the differences between something that records and edits and something that produces. Although most sound production apps have their own editing and sequencing capabilities. So you plug in a good microphone, let's say from the likes of Shure and you record vocals using a sound recording/editing device. As mentioned ProTools is excellent for Mac as was Logic and Cubase. You can record and master his/her vocals and really effeciently apply effects and manipulate that frequency wave. On a PC, stick with what SONY bought from Sonic Foundry, the entire Sound Forge line is very smooth and allows for total control with many effects. As for sound effects there are plenty of stock loops, etc. out there, even from the likes of my own product Loopkit at http://www.loopkit.com - obviously there are others and many other directions you can go with. Always export in high quality .wav or .aiff files for professional use.
