For drops:

-Delay
-Flanger /Phaser
-Reverb

For mixdown:

-Compressors
-Filters
-Limiters

Various purposes:

-Gater
-Dblue Glitch
-Izotope Stutter Edit
-Pan
-Bitcrusher
-Metalizer

For vocals:

-Autotune
-Vocoder

I use this but there are more, sometimes have other names but metalizer is for example a reverse delay

To glue a track together I use EQ, compression, and maybe a little saturation.

the biggest factor is leveling your channels, synths, effect busses, im not quite sure what the OP is asking specifically. stylistic preferences induce different molding techniques, i always use some reverb, delay, chorus and not so much compression these days.

any thanks for replys.... i meant more along the lines of sfx... didnt ake it very clear soz... kinda sweeps and rises

When a track is nearly done I add the main sweeps, risers and downers.

Not something to be rushed. TRy and use white noise plus some fm sounding wierd tonal oscialators then automate it into the track. nThen send to verb and delay - automate those too, esp' the feedback on the delay.
EQ it, ride the levels of each sweep - this is crucial.

I try and make several differne tones for a track.

I also do things like take the attack of any synth or vox and isloate it then add a massive verb and turn it do audio, then reverse it and use that reverse to intro those synth or vox sounds and also use that same reverse in the outro and mabe into.

Yopu could write 100 pages on this, in the end get stuck in for and p1ss off your loved ones by being super dedicated and robotic.

Reverse delay/reverb is a common trick.
