I have used the ikey, which is plugged into my ipod. It is pretty good, but I hear that the second generation one is much better. It is well within your budget and very easy to use. Best of all, it is already in digital format. You can easily edit and burn to CD.

yup....that's the one. It is not "Tony the tiger GREAT", but it works pretty well.

Look for any of the old Roland workstations, such as the VS-880. You can get them used for under $100, and you get at least four channels of record, with 1/4" jacks or RCA.

I think that you would be far better off with as mentioned above a 4 channel minimum recording system. Basically is you attempt to just use a feed from the board, you are not going to get good results, the mix that works for FOH pa is not going to work for a recording. At a minimum I would look at 4 channels, two from front of house and to from mics placed in the house, this will allow you to alter the balance after the fact and get a respectable recording.

What I do when I record shows on a four channel system is take one channel for a room mike, and make mixes for the other three. I'll send out an aux send mix, and group similar things together. For instance, in recording a chorus, I'll give one record channel to the boundary mics that are amplifying the group. Another will usually be the DI from the stage piano, and the fourth might be the soloist microphone(s). That way, when it cones time to mix, you have greater control of what you are doing. If something goes totally wrong, you have the room mike to fall back on. When it is time for a new act, just make a new aux mix.

Or you could try to find an old minidisc player. Ebay should have them for under $100.
