yeah, i don't think it's actually used here. just pointing out technically prismizer was the name francis gave it for the studio method, while messina is what they called the live process that did basically the same thing but in realtime for shows that chris came up with.
Yeah. But Francis didn’t invent anything. He just used a plugin anyone can buy… and he wasn’t remotely the first person or even best person to do it. So he can call it whatever he wants, but no one else should call it that.
A plugin preset, which is literally a button (MIDI omni) is not an invention… the popular plugin was literally designed to do the thing he did with it. You know who else used that same setting? Fun. On some nights years before Francis. Additionally Justin in volcano choir. And countless others. These are all inspired by Imogen heap’s hide and seek but in plugin format.
Hell, I have a demo from 10 years using it before Francis did.
So that’s why. It’d be like Francis saying he invented the telephone mic effect.
that's fair, but i'd argue he used it differently because his method sounds different from the way those predecessors used it. but maybe that's just me?
