Yeah but the consent of ONE of the recorded...not the recorder itself right?

Consent by one party of the conversation. If you initiate a recording of a conversation, you can reasonably have consented to you, yourself, recording the conversation.

Note that I believe (and, IANAL) that if at least one party to the conversation resides in a "two-party consent" jurisdiction, you will need the consent from all such parties.
