I'll look into the setup you mentioned, thanks.
Your advice echoes what the pros do in the studio. Goldwave and Audacity are both really good for that.

But I have to get the microphone into the computer: I'm pretty sure the Zoom does that. And for sure I can get a CD player to play into the computer..... I have to play with that to get some old tapes on CD anyway.

We got the Zoom H4n to get the best quality portable microphone and recording set. The practicality of it just can't be beat. Plus, I have recorded myself (without accompaniment) a few times before and the quality is really top notch. It really does show that I don't hear myself like the audience does. When I plug it into a sound system, from the hallway, my wife can't tell the difference between the playback and my real oboe...

Maybe my Dell speakers - despite their really good sound - don't have the projection quality required. I'll have to try playing the CD in a sound system and setting up the room/placement differently.
