longer lines

I had to do about an 80' run with my ultra crap snake + mic cables
and was able to make quality recordings
of vocals/acoustic gtr/accordion/voice.

Because of the run, I
was all freaked out it was
going to sound shi*,
and in the end my end sounded fine.
However, the players weren't able to
get any decent takes that night....

Like always, do the best you can with what you have
and don't be afraid to suck.

p.s. Couldn't one also place external mic pre's up by the drums upstairs
and run lines to the recorder? don't some folks do this in the studio?
