ola

Used as a verb, as in "to ola something". Ola Englund has a Youtube series called "In the room", where he tries to replicate the sound of an overdriven guitar amplifier "experienced as is", as closely as possible. He usually ends up in using a myriad of microphones (one per speaker cone and at least two room microphones), and that's how this noun was born.

"I really was having trouble mic'ing that cab, so I just ola'd it"
"Hey, really nice sound you got there on the tracks, how'd you mic them?" - "Just ola'd 4 mics on it"
