Ok, I'm new at this site so please excuse anything that makes me look like an ignoramus.
I just tried uploading an "audio only" play along with one of the drumless tracks and a few seconds into the song I get a message telling me it was unable to connect to the server that I guess is using for uploading audio and/or video.
I'm using Firefox because that seems to work better on this site although I got the same message using IE8.
It's my first upload and I'm just experimenting with a very simple track (Bad Moon Rising by CCR).
Any suggestions? Thanks for whatever you may know.

When I click on the "Record Live" button, it opens up a new window and gives me the opportunity to play along and record. I'm not trying to upload a file except for the audio coming from a single microphone. Am I right that I'm recording straight to a server at Drummer Connection rather to a file on my computer (I need to check but I never got a "Save As" prompt).

I will try it again later on. It's still pretty early here in Seattle and I'm in an apartment alone but a drum set makes for a poor alarm clock for my neighbors (tempting as it may be). I'll try again later on. I know all computers (including servers) have their little glitches.
Thanks for your help.

Howdy, when songs are first uploaded, they have to be transferred to our streaming servers. This process can take about 15 minutes, then they should be good to go. If the problem persists, try renaming your files to just using letters or numbers. For example if your file was named "My Cool Friggn' File.mp3" that may cause issues. Try re-uploading a file named "my_cool_file.mp3" without the quotes and that should help as well.
Thanks!
