How to make your own personalized cell phone ringtones?
True-tone ringtones are saved as standard WAV music. They have a similar quality as the popular MP3 files, so they gain more and more popularity. Unfortunately, only a handful of mobile phones can play the ringtone, but hopefully that will soon change for the better.
At the beginning we have to download the software we needed to comply with any tone. The first program is “Goldwave” which can be found on the page - www.goldwave.com. Another necessary tool is a program to convert, or reduce “volume” file. It is a “Sox GUI”, which you can download for example, from www.infonokia.pl
Get Started …
Edit tones
Once you started the Goldwave program, open the track, you want to compile to the true ring-tone. Then you have to select the section previously opened file, from which we want to create a ring tone. The exact time of the song can be found on the bottom – it is necessary to save it, because it will be needed at the end. The ring tone should not be longer than 40 seconds.
According to our taste we can set the tone increasing volume. So it begins quietly, and then becomes increasingly louder. To perform this operation, you should select the option from the Edit -> Marker -> Set … (You can use the key combination “Shift + E”). In the top menu, select Effect -> Volume -> Fade In … a table will come out, and when you click OK - the beginning of the song will be partially silenced.
Now it’s time to save the track. Going to File -> Save Selection As …, name the file and save in Wave format (*. wav) and IMA ADPCM settings 44.100 kHz; bits: 4; Stereo.
