That's not to say you wouldn't be better off with a PA for live performances, but since the original discussion was about the recording, I figured I throw that in there.
I really think it's worth taking a run at finding a relatively inexpensive way to get better audio on the recording, or, perhaps better (for now), do an audio-only recording, and see how things sound from there.

Yeah I realize the PA is a separate discussion, didn't mean to derail. I'm not really happy at all with the recordings. But like I said earlier by intent was to get ideas about the song, not the audio. But this guy who rattled my chain basically got me thinking that maybe I'm doing myself a dis-service by releasing sub par audio. I don't know but I would like to get 1/2 decent recordings. I tend to think the room sucks as well as the reverb muddying things up and the ipod as well as a not so ideal recording device. Don't guys usually add in reverb after anyhow when they mix?
