On that note, can anyone recomend a md recorder that is good for that
purpose, since most of my field recordings I do with a few mics running
into my mixer and a direct line to a recorder.

Live recordings from mixer to MD walkman have been working well for me, and the sound quality has been excellent. I am quite fond of the Sharps (I have a 701 and an 831) because these, unlike the Sonys, allow one to change the recording level in the midst of recording, a feature quite handy for the unpredictable overload tempting transients of live and field recordings.
