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! - Glenn

OK, so WAV files work better. Excellent, another piece of the puzzle gets put into place. In the interim, I have found where finished tracks are hiding, in plain sight of course!LOL. Now I need a little time later on today to do a test track to transfer to soundcloud. I will keep you very kind folks informed of my progress. Thank you again for you support Glenn! Frank

This is my biggest fear, posting a sound clip that isn’t a good representation of my true skills. Frank

I have had three inquires in the last week, but all want sound clips before they continue a conversation. I can’t blame them, time is so fleeting. Frank

You're welcome! If you get hooked....SC has various ways to get you stats on who's listening and where they are. Several levels of info which are progressively more pricey, but it's intriguing to have a handle on who is out there and listening to you! good luck!!

As I said, I was just messing around with it and came up with this piece. Remarkably, I did not play any of the parts! (I normally play all the parts.) They were all just chosen and inserted from GB's clip menu. It was loaded to soundcloud as an mp3, so you can check the quality. It's not too bad, but as suggested, I'll be loading up wav files from now on....

A little update:
So, I’ve gotten to record guitar and voice on GarageBand, finalize the track on different page, select that track, name in, pick a format and send it to my soundcloud page. Look out! WooHoo! this is rocket science to me😂 OK, so that was recording directly into the iPad with no other gear. Sounds pretty bad I have to say. Then I say let’s try something different. I run a condenser mic into a mixer, getting good voice and guitar sound into the headphones from the mixer, run line to an iRig into iPad and...Nothing is going into GarageBand. Any ideas?
