"You can put so much in the in-ear that you can't put in the wedge. Anything from aural tuning to, you know, just pitch correction. There's all types of things you can achieve in an in-ear mix that you can not achieve with a wedge."

Lee spells out the modern edge: in-ears are a private signal chain where you can run click, slates, aural tuning, even monitor-only pitch tools—stuff you’d never pump through wedges. That sandbox tightens timing and intonation, keeps choreography/broadcast hits on grid, and turns stadium chaos into clockwork. It’s why today’s shows sound—and feel—so precise.

This isn’t a story about gear.
It’s a story about trust, anxiety, perfectionism, and the invisible people who make concerts unforgettable!
