Hi Frank,
I am no expert on Soundcloud, but the advice you have received is consistent with my experience. Record something first on your own equipment, then upload the file to your Soundcloud page.
I have learned that you get a much better sound from your Soundcloud file if you upload a wave file rather than an mp3. Soundcloud converts all your files to their own compressed standard, so if you upload an mp3, which is already compressed, it sounds pretty bad. It takes slightly longer to upload a wave file, but it sounds way better once it's on Soundcloud if you do it that way.
Best of luck to you!
