coz that's takin away the credit from those who are usin it like hardware to perform great PA's, which is very insulting and unfair, they have probably put alot of time and effort into practising and perfecting, and that shouldn't be taken away from them by ignorance.
Oh for sure, ableton is amazing, but unfortunately users of it will get a little lumped into those that use it as little more than a DJ tool.
But as a piece of kit for creative Live PA performance, it is fantasitc.
Although I still like to see more than a guy with a laptop and a mouse, it looks so lame.
Controllers and toys are needed.
