newbie recording question: Recording from our church mixer

[Morgan Rockhill]

Can anyone provide me with advice on the best way to record the sermons at our church for use on our website?

The microphone from the pulpit feeds into a Eurorack MX 2004A mixer, located about 40 feet away.

What is the best way to connect a small recording device to this mixer, and can you recommend a reasonably low priced recorder that can be started and stopped remotely (preferable from the pulpit wirelessly)

Or do you think we would do better with a small portable device simply placed on the pulpit?
If so what do you recommend?

I appreciate any advice you can provide.

There are lots of portable recorders out there. Connect the mixer's 2-Track Out to the recorder, set it to record a good quality .wav file, set the levels conservatively and hit record. Let it record the whole thing without stopping/starting it. Transfer the files to a computer and edit the recording after the fact, taking out the parts you don't want. Then convert to .mp3. Save the original .wav file and the edited master .wav file.
