Applicable law in Delaware

The most recent version of the Delaware Code is always available online. Here is the relevant reference: http://delcode.delaware.gov/title11/c024/sc01/index.shtml

Here is a copy of the most pertinent sections:

ยง 2402. Interception of communications generally; divulging contents of communications, violations of chapter.

(c) Lawful acts. -- It is lawful:

(4) For a person to intercept a wire, oral or electronic communication where the person is a party to the communication or where one of the parties to the communication has given prior consent to the interception, unless the communication is intercepted for the purpose of committing any criminal or tortious act in violation of the constitutions or laws of the United States, this State or any other state or any political subdivision of the United States or this or any other state.

----------------
As I read this, what comes to mind is that if one is having a conversation with anyone else, that it is legal for one to make any kind of recording that one wants, unless one was going to commit some other criminal act, or act intentionally to cause harm or damage to someone, such as through defamation or harassment.
