It stands to reason that today in the networkInternet or even in the App Store you can find many ringtones (ringtones / calls) that you just need to download and then install on the iPhone. And not everyone likes, let's say, ringtones for iPhone 4 from the present standard list in the gadget itself. Let's see how to create a melody to call with your own hands, using for this simple knowledge and tools.
Creating ringtones for iPhone or iPad is impossiblewithout understanding the basic principles of working with audio files, much less without knowing the standard format that can be played on these mobile devices.
About the principles of working with sound will be saida little later, and now we will dwell on some details of the reproduced format. Of course, today there are quite a lot of audio files, for example, MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG, AAC, M4A, etc. But in the case of Apple's mobile products, it turns out to be an incident - they can not just be signaled by an incoming call.
What are ringtones for the iPhone?Format M4R. This is a fairly specific standard, and not all programs and applications work with it. However, there is a way out. Creating ringtones for the iPhone can be done with some simple utilities, both on the computer and on the smartphone itself.
But first, let us dwell on the issue of working withany audio material. First of all, you need to understand that the call itself on the gadget will not sound for more than 30 seconds. Hence - the simplest conclusion: the creation of ringtones for the iPhone - the usual pruning or cutting out a fragment of your favorite composition. This is the simplest case, and in fact sometimes you want to add specific effects, make an increase in the beginning or attenuation of the sound at the end. For this, primitive programs are not suitable. But first of all we shall consider them.
Everyone knows that iTunes is used to synchronize Apple's mobile devices with desktop computers or laptops.
Of course, she has a lot of opportunities to transfer multimedia items or programs to the smartphone, but few know that with the help of this utility it is really possible to create your own ringtone within a couple of minutes.
So, let's look at creating ringtones for the iPhone5 (or any other models) on the computer. First, in the program itself, select the desired composition from the existing list, then through the right click we go to the information, and then - to the parameters.
Now you need to use two sliders - "Start"and "Stop" - to set the time for the sound of the segment of the song (taking into account 30 seconds, which was mentioned above). We press the button "OK", and then again right click on the track, select the submenu with the command to create the version in AAC format. After processing, a new track appears next to the original track. Again, right-click on the new file to call the command "Show in Windows Explorer". Now the file with the extension .m4a is visible here. You just need to rename it to the same name, but specify the .m4r extension. We return to iTunes and delete the cropped track. It remains only to run the ringtone from the folder so that it appears in the "Sounds" tab. It remains only to synchronize your gadget with the application and put a tick on the files intended for transfer to the memory of the smartphone.
As it turns out, make your own ringtonequite simply you can directly on your smartphone. To do this, you can use the application Ringtonium (or any other) that you can download from the App Store. Note that there are two versions - Light and Pro. Version Pro has more features and is paid, but for creating a ringtone, the free version in the form of Light version is also perfect.
Here everything is simple.After starting the application in the main window, you need to add the original track (the button with a "+" sign in the upper left of the screen). After the pop-up message appears with a request for further actions, use the "Ringtone" item, and on the timeline with the markers set the segment of the composition (beginning and end). Now it remains to save the selected fragment by clicking the button with the image of the floppy disk in the lower right corner. All. The ringtone can be used for its intended purpose (if desired, you can add effects that can be accessed by pressing the "FX" button before saving).
You can also make a ringtone on your computer using audio processing software. Consider the application Cool Edit Pro (in Adobe Audition or Sound Forge processes are identical).
First, open the desired file, thenselect the area to be cut out. We perform the cutting action (Ctrl + X or the Cut command from the context menu). Now create a new empty file and paste into it a fragment that is in the clipboard. You can do this by removing unnecessary pieces at the beginning and at the end. Now it remains to save it in any audio format from the list.
As for the addition of effects, say, forcreate an effect of increasing or fading sound using the Favorites menu, where the Fade In or Fade Out commands are selected, respectively. Again, apply them to the pre-selected sections of the track.
When full or partial selection can be applied effects, which are located in the Effects menu.
But that's not all. The fact is that there are no ringtones for the iPhone as such (see the specifics of the standard format). I'll have to do some more simple actions.
Now we have the original audio file. It simply needs to be converted to the "native" Apple standard. You can use any elementary converter with the ability to convert audio.
For example, in Freemake Video Converteryou must first select "Audio", open the desired file, then click on the icon containing the name "Apple" in the bottom row of buttons and start the conversion process. Upon termination of it in the specified default or in user settings, the file with the extension .m4r will be saved.
For the laziest iPhone owners, you canadvise the use of online services. The bottom line here is that the user simply downloads the initial file to the site, specifies the segment to be used as the ringtone, and press the start button. In a couple of minutes the new file can be downloaded to a computer or to a smartphone, if the specified action is made directly from it.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the creationringtones for the iPhone, as is already clear from the above, is not such a complicated business. In principle, the simplest ways are mobile applications and online services. With iTunes and audio editors, the matter is somewhat more complicated, but the latter have an undeniable advantage in that the song can be cut much more accurately (down to milliseconds), and also impose professional and even somewhat unusual effects that are simply absent in primitive programs for the smartphone, and especially when using trimming tracks online.
