You no longer have to pay iTunes 99 cents for every iPhone ringtone you want. In fact, using one of two methods, you can create your iPhone ringtones for free using a 16-step process or acquire a program designed to create your iPhone ringtones simply.
iPhone Ringtones can come from a variety of places. Movies. Music files. Also, you can record sounds from your daily life. Like your child saying, "Daddy, your phone is ringing." There are endless options for creative ringtones.
iPhones are one of the hottest new gadgets around. One of the great features of these phones is that you can set ringtones to each of your contacts. This means that when George calls, George has his own ringtone. Most people like to have a different ringtone for each caller. You can get really creative with this. You can have a ringtone that reminds you of each person.
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.
You can create iPhone ringtones 2 ways. This next way is what I call the hard way. You'll need Apple's GarageBand for this.
1) Start up iTunes and GarageBand on your Mac.
2) Click on the song in iTunes you want to make a ringtone of.
3) In GarageBand, create a New Music Project. You can do this either by closing an open project and then clicking the Create New Music Project button on the GarageBand splash screen, or by selecting New from the File menu.
4) Within GarageBand, it shows a timeline of a single track. Delete that track. (To do this, click the track and select "Delete Track" from "Track" menu.
5) Drag your selected tune from iTunes to GarageBand. The song is imported into GarageBand and a new music track appears.
6) Scan through the imported song and highlight the short segment you want 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) Pull the start of the ringtone to the far left 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) Next, let's turn the cycle region on and off. This is at the bottom section of the GarageBand window. The button you want is on the far right; it 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) To move the ringtone to your iPhone, connect the iPhone while iTunes is open. Select the iPhone in the Devices list on the left side of iTunes, then click on the Ringtones tab. Make sure that Sync Ringtones is checked. Click Sync, and your ringtone is copied to the 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.
