Alright, I know that this is a kinda stupid question and this might not even be the correct place, but looking at the different board descriptions, I thought that this was the best place.

What kind of software is good for remastering samples?

Possibly impossible to answer, but hell, I thought lets give it a shot.

(With remastering I mean fixing up samples for use in beats, for example some songs I want to sample are old. The quality isnt all that and just isnt acceptable looking at todays standards. I need to get rid of cracks etc, turn the volume up a little, and possible a hellalot of things I cant think of right now)

So, anyone with a suggestion?
