Anyone participate? I just joined and am trying to work out some hardware problems. I wondered what anyone else's experience has been?

I have not tried this one but I am also interested in feedback from anyone who has.

I tried a few of these types of sites and the latency always made it unworkable, even trying with a friend who is near me. I think the issue had to do with the central sever being far from both of us.

We found another solution that works better than I hoped by each running two instances of Skype. One is dedicated to send my audio to him and the other to send his audio to me and everything else is muted. This resolved issues with the audio streams stomping on each other and the latency is not bad (but probably due to our location).

So far my communication with the site admin and musicians has been good. Low key and supportive. I picked up nine followers the first day and got several invites to participate and add guitar tracks.
I tried to record my first track yesterday. I didn't have any latency problems, but I did have a monitoring problem. My guitar recorded, but I couldn't hear myself as it recorded, so that was a bit disorienting and I deleted the track since it was too rough. Hopefully, I'll get that worked out soon. It seems like it might be a pretty cool site, and I might end up spending way too much time there.

I thought I would update this thread. Anyone that is interested in doing collaborations, BandHub seems to be a pretty good site. I was able to work out my hardware problem by getting a small mixer and monitoring myself and the track, separate from my input device. I have no latency issues. I submitted my first track yesterday, I'm working on a second track to submit this weekend. It gives me a reason to focus on playing, rather than just randomly practicing songs. As you all know, recording uncovers every flaw in your playing. So this is good for my playing, plus it lets me exercise my amps and pedals and gives me a reason to think about getting new gear. I'm thinking about getting an Engl preamp.
There's some pretty decent musicians participating, and they are friendly and supportive. So far it's win/win.
