Hello Seek,
When you say, “Relatively safe way to capture the room” do you me protection from damage to the mics or something else?
Also, why do you want to use only the room mics? I would think you want at least a few close mics setup especially because it’s Rock & Ska music you’re capturing.
Maybe it’s because you really like the recordings you got from your old cassette recorder and I understand where you’re coming from…
I would walk around the room while the band is playing and listen to there the band sounds best. IE: most blended – The fullest sound and such. Place a stereo pair in that area and pay attention to the reverberation and texture of the sound you’re getting. Also play around with the microphone spread. If stereo is not an issue and you just want to get a great blend move the mics independently from each other until you got the perfect instrument balance in mono.
I hope this helped.
