Portable Audio Recorder To Record While DJing

I am looking for a small recording device that lets you can record your live DJ sets.

I came across these:

http://www.tascam.com/products/dr-1;9,12,3594,14.html

Wondering if anyone uses these or has an recommenations.

Thank you

Has anyone used these before?

there is also the Tascam DR-7 which is cheaper than the DR-1.

I would be using it with a pioneer djm800 mixer to record live. Any experiences with the audio quality?

Are any of these capable of recording both the music from the mixer and a seperate microphone to record the crowd?

Thanks!

While I haven't used either of the two audio recorders that you linked, I have used an audio recorder for doing interviews before. The quality, depending on the recorder's settings, can be very high quality.

I have the DR-7 and used it multiple times with a DJM-500. Does the job well.

I use the Samson H2, works great.

Damn you can buy a netbook for these prices.

But a netbook will have a very crappy DAC in it.

The Zoom H2 is like $130 now.
