My friend who has cingular was able to also cut ringtones this way (i showed him how
) But i dont know how he sent it to his phoneI posted it in another thread, but for people who want to know and might miss that thread. If you guys know other ways to make ringtones. Or maybe even faster easier ways with different programs. Please post your detailed descriptions! And maybe we can get this thread pinned =)
How to cut and add ringtones(razrs, choco, flip choco for sure can do this)
You must have two programs for this:
1.) Audacity 1.3 Beta [for windows 2000/xp/vista click here to install ; For windows 98/ME click here to install]
2.) mp3/wma converter [click here, and on the left click "free mp3 wma converter. Then click on download]
How to cut your ringtone (looks like a lot of info but trust me, once you do it once. Its so easy to make ringtones again after)
once you have the first program. Open it up, then go to "File" then to "open" and choose the song you want to make a ringtone out of. Once you load it, it should look like this (minus the coloring i did =] )
Red box) It will say something like 4400. CHANGE IT to 22050.
Ok. Now you will play the song (play button near top). As you are listening to the song, look at the box where i had marked a neon green arrow pointing. You want to write down the number of the exact moment you want your ringtone to start. So lets say 2 minutes 10 seconds into the song is right when your favorite part goes on. The neon green arrow pointing box should say "130 seconds".
Now take that number and place it in the first box with the fuscia arrow pointing (next to the red box). Its pretty obvious coz it says "Selection start"
In the box next to it you'll see two bubbles above it. You have a choice.
Choice 1.) Click the "End" bubble. Then type in the seconds of when in the song you want the ringtone to end. For example, So we started our imaginary ringtone at 130 seconds. Your favorite part ends at 170 seconds. So put it in! =)
Choice 2.) Click the "Length" bubble. This is the easier one. Most ppl don't care where in the song the ringtone ends so long as its at least 30 secs, or whatever seconds long. So if you just want your ringtone to be 50 seconds long, put in "50". That easy.
Ok, now it should look kinda like this (well depending on your song duh of course =] )
Yellow box.) You'll notice at the time line, it's grayed out. That is your ringtone you choose.
In my example picture. I started it at 2 mins 10 secs (130 seconds) and just made my ringtone 60 seconds in length.
NOW! to PERFECT it! =)
Press play, the player should now only play the gray section. Lets say you were off by a second or two. Or you want it longer. DO NOT adjust it by trying to move the gray area. USE THE FUSCIA part boxes. Change the seconds, lengths, however you need it to. Relisten till you think you got it perfect =D
Brown box.) Once it's all perfected, click that sucker! What that does is clip off everything that isn't your ringtone.
Almost theeeerrreee!
You're ringtone should now look like that!
Go to "File"
Down to "Export as"
and to "wav"
Just save it on your desktop so it's easier to find later.
Once it's done exporting
On to the next program!
Oh yea to remind you. If you cut another ringtone. Close and reopen the program. And make sure you change that number again to 22050
How to turn that ringtone into mp3
Open up your converter program. Go to "File" and open up the ringtone you cut (should be wav file!)
Purple box.) You need your program to say those details, so click on the button in the red box
Brown box.) you want it to be 32 kbit. So slide the thingy till it says it
Dark teal boxes.) Just click them till they match my picture
Green arrows.) Click apply, then press ok....
Once you get to the main part, Click the button "Convert" at the bottom!
You've officially made a ringtone!!!!! If you cant find your now mp3 ringtone, open back your program (the converter) and see where it says "out path" (should be the second box above my purple box in the first pic of the converter program). Thats where they saved the file.
How to send your now awesome customized ringtone to your phone
Go to your email
Open up a email msg
In the "to" box put your phone number including area code @vzwpix.com
EXAMPLE.) 4085551234@vzwpix.com
Attach the ringtone you made (remember, not the wav from the first program, but the file that came out the converter. It should be mp3)
AND SEND!
When you recieve the text. Click options on your phone and "save as ringtone"
If you didn't recieve the text, go to vzwpix.com and make an account. Then try again.
Only downside is for ppl without text messaging packs have to pay the fee when they recieve the texts.
Hope this was helpful!

When I put it on low, the sound of the ringtone's as loud as default ringtones on high, or maybe even higher!
