p.a. stands for public address i think (public address system).
don't know why exactly this term is used though.

agree with pheek

in that case you should put demo mix or studio mix

I always thought P.A. meant Personal Appearance. Public Address means something different. A public address system is some form of speaker system through which you can talk to a large crowd of people by amplifying your voice, no?

I could be wrong like.....

Anyways, when I hear a mix I want to know if it was recorded in a club or in the studio. Because, obviously, with a studio mix you can re-record bits, remove errors, polish it, record it in sections etc so they are normally super-humanly perfect and thus totally false!!!

So yeah, maybe put "studio mix" if it is like that. If nothing specific is written, then we can just assume it was recorded in a club, because most dj mixes are from clubs so it´s easier that way!
