This is a pretty good idea for DJ's or anyone who plays any kind of music live. This is the kind of idea anyone in the music industry needs if the industry is going to continue making money in the future!

Great apart from the extra work put on those of us responsible for recording such events. Live recordings are incredibly unpredictable and the majority require up to a week's work in post to get sounding reasonable.
Would be easier to record a DJ set right? I can imagine it's much harder for a live band, it really is the mixer who makes a good band sound great. What would be the different between mixing normally and mixing for a live recording?
Pretty easy to record a DJ set - you can do a bit of processing on the way in (dynamics mostly - bit of compression and peak limiting to smooth out the DJ's performance, as a good DJ with a properly set up club can really use much more extreme volume changes and builds / fades over time than a home listener might expect/enjoy), then its just compression to MP3 (3-5 mins for a 2-3 hour set with a decent computer) and then duplicating the mix. Add an extra step if you want CDs with indexes.
Sasha did this recently, a much-publicised 'come to the gig, get the CD when you go home' altho IIRC he had a technical glitch that made it onto the final mix. Whoops.
