Reply to Best Program to create a mix-tape mix-file

I'm sure this has been asked several times but I don't know if the question has been asked for what I'm looking to do.

Anyways, I want to record a mix and I don't want to use Traktor pro 2. One I don't want to record it as a live performance. Two the recording audio quality is limited.

My production needs are basic considering I'm not creating music I just want to beat match it and use some effects and also use loops like the tracks on Traktors remix decks.

There are a lot of options Audacity, Sony Acid Pro, The Reason, Fruity Loops, Abelton, Mixxx, Mix meister although it's not supported anymore.

What is the best software to use either my S4 or Audio 8 DJ card to record high quality 24 bit mixes. I want to record my announcements too.

The sets typically would be an hour long. I want more effects than just flanger and reverb, & I would prefer if it's fairly user friendly.

So with that said what would you recommend?
