shouldn't micing rhyme with slicing?

That's what you were looking for- use of an apostrophe outside of a contraction.

That's what you got.

Some people are never happy. :D

It wasn't a challenge. I really was interested. I couldn't think of any right off the bat until (or should I say 'til) they mentioned 'cello and 'bye, which I hadn't heard of. But it reminded me of 'til.

Regardless, I still don't see this as the same concept as "mic'ing." I don't know .... that just seems ridiculous to me.

OHH now I see what you were saying. I asked in an earlier post for the use of it outside of a contraction, they gave me examples, and then I said "still, this is not a contraction." Yeah, my bad. I switched subjects without telling anyone. In my mind I was going back to the fact that fiddler referred to 'cello being used as a contraction. My bad.

Will an EQ help? It seems to be going at about 500hz. Or a pop filter? Or is a pop filter just for soda spills?

Uh-oh.

EQ.

What about EQ'ing? :eek:
 
Eekewing
Eqing
Eq'ing
down or up db'ing
frequency-selective de-thickening and un-thinning
positive or negative filter-based tonal adjustment

"Throw a mic on the thing and EQ it later, for crap's sake. :mad: "

:p
 
Main Entry: con·trac·tion

This from Merriam Webster.

I think mic'ing is better than micing - but now I am leaning towards miking.

Well I'll be damned! So 'til is a contraction. You learn somethin' new every day.
 
I've often used mic'ing as if I'm taking mic and just "throwing" "ing" onto it. It's not a very technically correct way.

I'm inclined to think of miking as the more technically correct term.

OMG I HAVE THE ANSWER

'enmikenizing'

That's the one
 
Err ... yeah, all these arguments are fine, except you're ignoring one important fact:

It's spelt "mic'ing". Duh.

If that's indeed true, then I stand corrected.

It's kid of a shame, though; I got a good laugh out of what I thought was the irony of an innocent mis-spelling of a form of the word "spell".
