I have heard of a method of recording concerts that utilizes a receiver that taps into the singer's earpiece.
Apparently it records at FM quality.
Does anyone know anything about this?
It sounds quite interesting. I am wondering how it would actually know which frequency the singer's earpiece is using.
Plus one would require time to scan for the channel that the singer uses, maybe also the need to get close enough?
Also: is the mix that the singer gets usable/enjoyable?
It is similar to using ALD or whatever the name is for the hearing impaired?
If you are trying to capture the transmission from a singer's wireless microphone- you would only capture the voice and whatever bleedthrough was captured by the microphone. It wouldn't be a good tape.

I believe he is talking about tapping into the transmission to the singer's monitor, not the singer's mic output. Sounds like it has mediocre possibilities.
IEM recordings are usually flat, dull mixes. Usually they are also oddly mixed, as the user will want more of certain instruments, less of others.
You'll get a much better recording with mics.

Here's the latest thread regarding IEMs. Search the ts.com archive and you'll see why you shouldn't do it.

In ear monitors are the devil when it come to onstage recording..... They should be banned >:D

Inner-ear monitors sound painful. You should probably look at in-ear monitors instead.
I once recorded a U2 show that way. The signal I got was extremely hissy and sounded like shit. Also, they seem to have stopped transmission during the last song...
