Creating Ringtones for your iPhone

Here is a quick and simple way to create ringtones for your iPhone using iLife 08' or 09'. The program your going to use is GarageBand. In iLife 09' upon opening GarageBand you have a choice to choose "iPhone Ringtone" as a Project option to be opened. If your using iLife 08' just open a normal project with the default settings. After opening your project you can then click on the Media Browser Button:





Once opened choose your Audio in the Browser and just drag it into the main Garage Band Window. Once you have your song inserted on a track we find it easiest to turn the Loop Option on as well as toggle the LCD Panel to time so we can see how long the loop were creating will be





You will then see a yellow highlight above the song you dragged in and there you can adjust the loop to your liking and we suggest not making your ringtone longer then 40-42 seconds. The ringtone will not be able to be exported if its longer regardless. Once you have your ringtone set you can then go up to the Share Menu











Your ringtone will then be sent to iTunes where you can rename it if you iike. Finally just plug in your iPhone and Sync and your good to go.
