It's a hotly debated issue, even among the pros. A lot of people seem to favor "mic, mike, miked, and miking". "Micing" and "Mic'ing" looks a little strange to me.protein said:I know this isn't really important but when I put a mic on something what am I doing? micing, mikeing miking mic-ing, mic'ing etc?
May as well get it out of the way now, then I can post without blushing.

protein said:I have to agree Harvey, micing doesn't look right but to me miking just feels wrong. I'll have to pose this question to some Oxford Uni English students or something.

protein said:Hmm. I'm torn between Harvey "the don" Gerst's "miking" and "mic'ing".
What a nightmare. As soon as this subject is sorted I can go on to annoy everyone and ask what "omni" and "phase" means.
protein said:So should I really be microphoning a drum kit instead of miking it? Also, should I be eq-ing or EQing?
So many important questions...
Harvey Gerst said:I guess if I wanna get on a bicycle and explore the neighborhood, I'd go "bic'ing"? And what's the abbreviation for my bicycle, a "bic"?
