I have looked through the forums and I find conflicting or incomplete answers. I want to submit my vocal and submit some of my instrumentals then make any derivative work available on my website for free. My site is ad supported. I will be not be selling the music. My understanding of commercial use is if I use a creative commons NC in an ad to sell or promote something. I need conformation that I can use NC music in a non commercial way on an ad supported site.

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/legalcode says exactly the following "You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation."

You're not going to get hard and fast confirmation here, because legal advice is not dispensed here. The best available guide is a draft, see http://wiki.creativecommons.org/NC
Note that you always have the options of using music released under a CC license without the NC term -- see http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Commercial_music for some pointers -- or of asking for permission from NC licensors.
