I agree to a point, but sound design can still be part of playing musical instruments, especially electrically amplified instruments. One of my favourite YouTube channels is Effectology, where Bill Ruppert pulls out a wide range of sounds out of an electric guitar and guitar pedals (Electro-Harmonix guitar pedals in this case): https://m.youtube.com/user/Effectology https://m.youtube.com/user/Effectology Beyond the sounds available from effect boxes, you can also trigger MIDI signals whilst playing musical instruments, so in that way there's no sound that can't be played in a live setting.
