The problem I see is that Live PA`s are getting more popular, as people are getting a little tired of people playing records, there`s a really good article about this, in digital DJ Mag, with a surprisingly down to earth and on point interview with Sasha.
Anyway, lots of DJ`s are suddenly doing "live" PA`s, so they still get booked, when all they are doing is mixing their tunes on Ableton, it kinda makes a mockery of people who spend a lot of time on their PA`s.
For me, a live PA for a 1 hour gig, is a weeks work.
And I`m just starting to work on a 2 man, battle PA, with one of the collective, which is gonna be even more work.
