Default Voice recording app for Sensation

I'm looking for a good voice recorder solution for my Sensation that has been tried and known to work. I tried the Quick Record widget from HTC but it doesn't do much else other than provide an icon on my screen that does absolutely NOTHING.

All legalities aside, I have a rather combative employee at work and would like to be able to record some of the less than pleasant conversations he has with me when he comes into my office so I can play them back for HR so they don't think I'm full of crap the next time I tell them what was said.

It would need to be able to continue recording with the screen off.

FREE is preferred, but I am willing to spend a few bucks if needed.

Thanks much!

If you're in the US & have the Sensation 4G, the reason that widget doesn't work is because Tmobile took out the Voice Recorder app.

Voice Recorder from the market is free and works with the screen off. Been using it for a long time with my N1 and it works fine with the Sensation.
