@Tommyc,

Thanks, will check that out a bit later. My plight, now, is as follows. I just tried a few different downloads of audio converter programs to convert my audio only music (which is in WMA format) to something acceptable to YouTube (such as MPEG4, AVI, WMV, FLV) but when I FINALLY found out that I could have used Windows Movie Maker which I have already have been using for all my previous YouTube videos (DOH!) I tried it. I uploaded the audio to Windows Movie Maker (without any pictures) and listened to it. YIKES!!! Horrible!! It sounded distorted and as if only SOME of the tracks were playing. Nowhere near as "good" as the uploaded to SoundCloud audio does. Obviously something happened during the conversion process. Something is clearly not right. Anyhow, what I did for all my previous YouTube stuff was, first, convert my videocamera recorded stuff with the help of a downloaded VIDEO converter program (because the recorded stuff was in the AVI format which was previously unacceptable by YouTube but now it is accepted) and then edited it in WMM. Then, of course, uploaded to YouTube. Easy. Done. But this is has got me stumped.

Out the door, will be back later to stress out some more.

@Don,

I think I saved my audio in the wrong format. I thought I saved it to MP3 but it's in WMA. Could try again.

In fact, yep, I see in Reaper that I rendered to WMA instead of MP3. WILL try again later.

Oh, also, it's not just the AUDIO I'm wondering about. I can understand the SLIDESHOW thing. But I'm wondering about if I want to be seen PLAYING the song on the video. I already know that I'll probably have to worry about the audio and video synching properly but I don't want to MIME to the song on guitar and vocals I actually want to play and sing along with it. Hell, I think I answered my own question.

So much stress, so little time.

P.S. How do I add a "signature" here? I did a quick search and couldn't find the answer.
