**external hardware recorder from mixer.** what is the best device to record directly from my mixer output? I have a hybrid setup of various sources, some of which mean the final mix is from my mixer output. I have a computer that I broadcast a live video stream from which takes the booth output. this computer is running at a usage level, that recording could push the CPU over a reasonable level. I have a record out on my mixer which I want to attach a small recording device that is always there and easily set to record. what should I be looking at? ---

Have a look at the Reloop Tape, records in mp3. ---

A sure choice are ZOOM recorders with line inputs and microphone (you can record at the same time the club noise and mix that with the track mix for added realism - like the crowd noise at the drop etc) ---

Any handheld recorder with line in. Check Tascam for example. ---
