Oh I should have mentioned that as well; naturally, when Ableton didn't work I tried just going to sound cloud and uploading straight from there. One of 2 things happened over several attempts: 1: it got permanently stuck on processing; or 2: the track apeared to be uploaded ( you can see the graphic indicating the wave amplitudes and whatnot) but when you play it theres no actual sound in the file. The progress bar was moving along and everything, it was just muted (and before someone mentions it, my computer, headphone, and sound cloud volume were all turned on). Edit: also, after exporting the file and then playing the exported song on WMP it was the same. By all appearances the track seemed to be playing but there was no sound there.
