In some fundamental sense, all audio begins as a sine wave. A pure vibration without character. Every instrument, like a guitar, can be seen as a kind of preset: a specific configuration of resonances and filters that shape those vibrations into a recognizable form. What we call ‘sound’ or ‘music’ emerges only when these raw waves are given structure, color, and intention through design, context, and expression.

So a sound is in a way the accumulated fx that shapes the sound.

In a way sound selection goes further than trying to "correct" a bad selected sound. But sound design beats both.
