iPhone ringtones are a fun way to customize your iPhone. Instead of paying 99 cents for each ringtone you want, there are two ways to get ringtones. A 16-step process with GarageBand to create your own and using one of the simpler programs to do the same thing.
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) Within your GarageBand, select "File", then "New".
4) A timeline of a single track is shown in GarageBand. You'll want to delete this track. To accomplish this, select the track and click "Delete Track" from the "Track" menu at the top of GarageBand.
5) You'll need to drag and drop the song from iTunes to GarageBand. You'll see it's quickly imported.
6) Scroll thru the song in GarageBand. Then select the 30 second segment you want to be your new iPhone ringtone.
7) You'll need to delete the music ahead of the start of your ringtone. To do this, click on the track to select it, then choose Split from the Edit menu to split the track at the playhead. Click the blank GarageBand work area to deselect the track and click on the portion you want to delete and press the Delete key on your keyboard. Do the same for the end of your ringtone.
9) With your mouse, yank the remaining clip to the left starting place of the track.
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) Click "Share", then "Send Ringtone to iTunes." This will convert to the right format and send it to iTunes.
16) Then sync your iPhone!
Of course, if this seems like a lot of work, you can use software such as PocketMac RingtoneStudio for iPhone, which does the work for you. This is what I call the easy way.
