Say goodbye to having to pay iTunes 99 cents to get ringtones for your iPhone. This is a thing of the past. Today, you can use Apples GarageBand, to create your own iPhone ringtones. You can also use programs designed for creating ringtones from your favorite media files.
There are two types of files that can be used as a iPhone ringtones. Music files are a great source of ringtones. Also, movie soundtracks can be used as well. You can also things in your life like your child saying "Daddy, your phone is ringing." There's no end to your options.
It seems that everyone wants an iPhone. They have so many great features and among those features, ringtones seem at the top of the list. iPhone users want to set ringtones for each of their contacts; this means that when a specific contact, a ringtone matched to him will ring.
iPhone ringtones are easier to match than you'd think. If your brother-in-law lives, sweats and breaths football, set the NFL theme song as his ringtone. If your Dad is crazy for country, make Brooks and Dunn his ringtone. If your sister's family is dysfunctional, use "Married With Children" as their ringtone. It's so much fun.
There are two ways to create ringtones for your iPhone. I call this the hard way. With it you can use Apples GarageBand to make your own ringtone.
1) Start up iTunes and GarageBand on your Mac.
2) Highlight the song you want to create a ringtone from in iTunes.
3) In your GarageBand window, select "New Music Project."
4) GarageBand displays a timeline with a single track. Delete the track (click on it and choose Delete Track from the Track menu).
5) You'll need to drag and drop the song from iTunes to GarageBand. You'll see it's quickly imported.
6) Listen to the song and pick out a short segment to be your ringtone.
7) We're going to remove the sections of the music before and after the clip we've selected. Click the track and this will select it. Click Split under "Edit" at the top menu. This will break the file from the point where your mouse is. Then click on the portion of the file you want to delete. Delete it. And repeat for the end of the ringtone.
9) Drag the beginning of the ringtone all the way to the left side of the track timeline.
10) About a half-second or so into the beginning of the track, click the volume line to create an end point. Next, click and drag the beginning of the volume line down to zero volume.
11) Repeat this step for the end of the ringtone.
12) Time to preview. Play it. Does it sound good? If so, save it.
13) Toggle the button that turns the cycle region on and off. It's on the bottom, far right. It's a button that looks like a set of arrows.
14) Then a yellow line will appear just above the track. Using your mouse, click and yank the right side of the line. It should go all throughout your ringtone. Then save it again.
15) Now send the file to iTunes. To do this, click "Share", then "Send Ringtone to iTunes." Instantly it's converted and sent to iTunes.
16) Sync your iPhone and your ringtone will be copied for you.
This does seem like a complicated process. If you'd prefer something a little simpler, consider PocketMac RingtoneStudio for iPhone. It does all of this with a simple drag and drop. - 23802
