Most people this thread talk about effects. That’s just part of the story. Another part is the level/gain of each instrument during each part of the piece. Remixing the levels can completely change a song. You can get a small taste of this by experimenting with extreme EQ levels on a parametric EQ. Take one of your favorite song and change the EQ levels to emphasize different sections. Sometimes an original release vs a “2019 remaster” (or similar year)has such differences and you can hear parts of a piece differently than before, almost like hearing new layers that were always there but not emphasized.
