It's like Ian says, "You don't make it live so how the **** do you play it live?"

I really don't give a shit what people use or how they do their live pa as long as it sounds good. I will say that the more effort you put into making it spontaneous does make a huge difference on my approval rating, but it's not the only thing I look for. I've seen a bunch of performances where the music is great but there is nothing more than a laptop and a mouse involved. I've also seen or shall I say heard PA's in the same vein that were horrible.

Personally, the reason I like PAs so much is because you hear/play unreleased tracks, remixes, reworks, and much more. At the end of the day, if your live pa is truly impressive good things will come to you but it may take a while. The rest of the fodder will weed itself out.
