Audio Interfaces, Preamps, and Mixers. I NEED ANSWERS!

Okay, so I'm sort of a newbie to recording. I have a background in live sound, and understand the basics and more. But as I begin to slowly assemble a "studio" of sorts, I've come across a question that I, regardless of hours worth of research, still cannot draw a clear answer to.

Licensing questions

I'm considering releasing a cover song. I'm not sampling any previously recorded audio; I'm performing my own version of the song. However, I'm only covering the chorus, and adding my own verses. Is this still technically considered a cover? I know about licensing covers through Harry Fox, etc. but I'm not sure if this works the same way.

My final decision on studio setup after much research

Of course, i had the best interest for a nice Quad-Core computer, and the top of the line effects but...after much research i have found that with proper mic placement, good mics, good preamps/interface/AtoD converters and recording setup, i can make due what i have. With little more upgrade to my laptop.

Where did the Threads Go?

We lost two days of threads and posts. I'm trying to resolve this but its not going well. 8 hours on it now. Seems the main network in LA got hit with a malicious attack and something effected our forums during their security lockdown. bummer indeed. .

I've rebuilt the site, we're now running on our backup and stable. Time to sleep..
