That's not quite true. The digital program is great for the monitors, and balance between all the inputs to FOH, but the ROOM SOUND still needs to be adjusted (as Bob indicated about that pro with the 'night of' shows).
And if its a hockey arena, or large open 'shed', then that sound adjustment is crucial.
