recording equipment will make you money... PA wont

couldnt be more wrong.

Every jackass in a band thse days seems to have a mic and a computer program. they record and fiddle with knobs or buttons till it sounds ok. there is often times a complete lack of understanding audio.this is great for just dicking around but unless you get real serious about it you recordings will still sound like crap. it takes a real long time to get good at recording and or running a PA well. in all seriousness it will take you longer to become a recording engineer than it did for you to learn your instrument. if you realy need to use it for songwriting purposes, go for it. you can do everything you basicly need to do for $100 if you already have a computer. you could make demos this way as well. if you want a real good recording you are better off spending a a few $100 at someplace where they already have $25000 worth of preamps(yeah a good preamp for a mic is well over $1000). to make a living these days from recording is damn near impossible with the birth of digital recording for the home. recording studios are closing down real fast. and alot of shitty music is coming out.... for the record i have over $5000 worth of recording equipment that just gathers dust.

a PA on the other hand......... alot less people these days have their own PA. these are often times big setups that people dont want to deal with. most times at most shows you dont even need one. because it is provided by the club or another band. there are few places that dont have a PA. most small shows in hall end up just playing out of their instruments and just mic the vox. unless you just want to hear some singer a PA is useless unless you are going to be playing for more than 200 kids or so but at that rate get a good PA with a seperate mixer from the amp.learn about BI-amping or tri-amping even. get an external crossover. but if you set up shows and have a PA system that is one less thing to pay for. but then you need enough mics. cables. never enough cables. outboard EQ. compressors.

either way spend about 2 weeks reading up on both subjects and see which one you think you or your band would benefit the most from. i suggest just keep practicing.
