with technology these days its true....live PAs are helluva lot easier then they used to be. laptop + a few controllers + another piece of gear if necessary can prolly be hookedup to any 4 channel dj mixer. bring RCA's, your own power strips and hopefully a bus powered soundcard as well as midis.....saves alot of hassle :D
cant believe the djs who hassle/are bothered by live PA's out there. luckily i dont have to deal with that much around here in LA...but then again i throw alot of the parties i play at anyway so no worries haha
