How to crop music for a ringtone

Somehow, absolutely imperceptibly passed those times when mobile phone displays could display only a few thousand colors, and polyphonic MIDI ringtones (ringtones) were considered the ultimate dream. Modern devices in the technical plan far surpassed their predecessors. True, their use so far has not become completely free. Owners who want to set their ring tone as a ringtone, rather than choose from those in the firmware, have to make a choice: to figure out how to trim music on the computer to create a ringtone on their own, or spend money on buying.

Where are the best ringtones

As they say, demand generates a proposal. Therefore, many companies, services, individuals and even operators themselves offer the user for a certain amount to download a ringtone to their mobile device. For the convenience of using this solution, much has been done: just call the specified number, listen to the demonstration tracks and choose the desired one. As a result, the required amount will be copied from the account, and the sound of the call will change to the selected one. The disadvantages of this solution are obvious: a limited set of melodies and the need to spend money on the purchase.

More preferable is another way. Knowing how to trim music on your computer, you can independently prepare for a few minutes your own ringtone, choose its duration and even adjust the volume. And it's all free. Obviously, it makes sense once to spend your time studying how you can crop music so that the cell phone is always happy with its call.

Select a program

There are several ways to create your own ringtone. Their choice depends on the standard supported by the mobile device (midi or MP3), as well as on the choice of the platform on which the editing process is planned. All modern smart phones, phones and tablets work perfectly with MP3, so we will continue to mean exactly such files.

There are many programs with which you can decide how to crop music. Some of them are paid, others are distributed free of charge. Also there are compromise options - it's conditionally free solutions and online editors. The principle of work is identical everywhere, with rare exceptions. Suitable are all those that allow you to edit the MP3 stream. As an example, you can specify "Audio Master", Wavosaur, MP3 Audio Editor, Sony Sound Forge. All of the above is designed to work on the computer. There are also alternatives designed for "Android" devices.

We'll look at how to trim music on a PC and edit it by creating a ringtone for the phone. The Sound Forge program is a powerful editor with impressive potential. Before you start working with it, you should select a music file from which the track section will be selected. After starting the program, you need to click on the yellow folder in the upper left corner - the analog of the usual explorer will open. Double clicking on the file - and it is loaded into the editor. The user is shown a band of frequency peaks - the same sound stream, conditionally shown in graphical form. How to crop music here? Nothing is easier! Below there is a play button (the familiar triangle). When you click on it, the file will start to play, and the slider will move according to the schedule. Pressing in the right place for a pause or remembering the time, you can delete everything that follows. To do this, move the cursor on the graph to the left, holding the left mouse button. The selection will be displayed by inverting the color. You will only have to click the Delete button. The remaining can be saved by selecting the appropriate command in the "File" menu. Only the name of the original and the new track must be different. Let's sum up how to trim music: run the program, open the file, select an extra site, delete it, save it. Nothing complicated.

Create your own ringtone

Sound Forge is a very useful program. How to trim music with it, you can understand quite easily. But this is also an application with more features. In particular, you can select an arbitrary section and make your own ringtone out of it. After the frequency chart appears, select the start and end time interval (by time) by listening. We select it by inverting, as indicated above. Press the right mouse button and select "Copy". After that, select "New" in the "File" menu. In an empty window, you can click "Paste" through the menu or Ctrl + Insert and save the creation to a file. Here it is - a new ringtone. You just need to transfer it to your phone and activate it as a call.

How to increase the volume

The "sickness" of many mobile phones is the insufficient intensity of the sound signal. Very often even when the volume is "twisted" loudly, the melody sounds too quiet. There is a solution. After opening the sound file in the Sound Forge program, you must select the "Volume" item in the "Processing" menu. The slider in the window allows you to adjust the intensity, and the button next - to listen in real time, picking up the volume for yourself so that there is no overload. After the adjustments made, you need to remember to save them and upload them to your phone.

How to crop music to a call without a computer

You can adjust the melody in the phone itself. Of course, you should not expect functionality from the programs for the mobile phone, as in desktop versions, but they also cope with the basic tasks. For example, quite a good application - Ringtone Maker, which can be used for free. Run it, you need to click on the green arrow. A frequency band familiar to Sound Forge opens. Moving two sliders, you can select the desired area and save it.
