Potential hardware issues

ok.
i dont know how to begin to explain this.
ok so i'm going to be moving into a new house in like june or something. it all depends on the contractor and stuff. anyways
so. the only room im going to be able to track drums in would be like the garage.
literally garage recording
but then im afraid that i wont get very good. or very accurate sounds ya know from
bleed from the moniters onto the mics.
i know youre just saying turn them off but i was thinking.
maybe i could have the whole DAW rig in my room in the house upstairs (across the yard from the garage)
and run 8 xlrs (plus a 1'/4" for headphones) out of the room, down the side of the house, through a conduit, into the garage. where i could plug everything into a little box i would assemble.

now. is this a terrible idea considering signal drop and everything? the lines would probably be around 80 feet long. and maybe im making it way too complicated. but i kinda wanted to do another one of those running down to the piano in the living room.

somebody stop me if im making a complete arse of myself.

p.s. i have no right to use the word arse, im puerto rican.

shouldn't be a problem. Some of the runs in the church I am wiring were 150ft ... of course havn't heard through them yet as the electrical inspector failed it for a couple goofy *** reasons.

I use a 150" multi channel snake in the house to get to other rooms and I dont suffer any signal loss.

i was thinking about using a snake but i was wondering if it would be cheaper to just build my own cables and run them myself.

i mean it probably would be

but then again the cables would probably be mega crappy.


i shall meditate on it

Honestly for that length run you might be better off with a pre-made snake. But then again, as you said it might be much cheaper if your going to make it a permanent thing to build just what you need.
