The times when mobile phone displays could display only a few thousand colors, and polyphonic MIDI ringtones (ringtones) were considered the ultimate dream, somehow completely unnoticed. Modern devices are technically far superior to their predecessors. True, their use has not yet become completely free.
Owners who want to set their soundtrack as a ringtone, and not choose from those in the firmware, have
to make a choice: understand how to cut music on a computer to create a ringtone on their own, or spend money on a purchase.
Where are the good ringtones
As they say, demand creates supply. Therefore, many companies, services, individuals and even operators themselves offer the user for a certain amount to download a ringtone to your mobile device. For the convenience of using such a solution, really a lot has been done: just call the specified number, listen to the demo tracks and select the one you want. As a result, the required amount will be debited from the account, and the ringtone will change to the selected one. The disadvantages of this solution are obvious: a limited set of tunes and the need to spend money on a purchase.
Another way is preferable. Knowing how to cut music on a computer, you can prepare your own ringtone in a few minutes, choose its duration and even adjust the volume.
And all this is free. Obviously, it makes sense to spend your time once learning how to cut music, so that subsequently the mobile phone always delights with its call.
Program selection
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 smartphones, phones and tablets work perfectly with MP3s, so hereinafter we will mean just such files.
There are many programs that can help you decide how to cut music. Some of them are paid, while others are distributed free of charge. There are also compromise options - these are shareware solutions and online editors. The principle of operation is identical everywhere, with rare exceptions. Suitable are all those that allow you to edit the MP3 stream. As an example, you can specify the "Audio master", Wavosaur, MP3 Audio Editor, Sony Sound Forge. All of the above is designed to work on a computer. There are also alternatives designed for Android devices.
Powerful editor
We’ll look at how to cut music on a PC and edit it by creating a ringtone for your phone. Sound Forge is a powerful editor with impressive potential.
Before you start working with it, you should select a music file from which a section of the track will be selected. After starting the program, you need to click on the image of the yellow folder in the upper left corner - an analogue of the familiar 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 conventionally shown in graphical form. How to cut music here? Nothing is easier! At the bottom there is a play button (familiar triangle). When you click on it, the file will begin to play, and the slider will shift according to the schedule. By pausing in the right place or remembering the time, you can delete everything that follows. To do this, move the cursor on the schedule to the left, holding the left mouse button. The selection will be displayed by inverting the color. All that remains is to click the Delete button. The rest can be saved by selecting the appropriate command in the File menu. Only the name of the original and the new track should be different. To summarize, how to trim the music: run the program, open the file, select the extra section, delete it, save it. Nothing complicated.
Create your own ringtone
Sound Forge is a very useful program. How to cut music with it, you can understand quite easily. But it is also an application with more features. In particular, you can select an arbitrary section and make your own ringtone from it. After the appearance of the frequency graph, by listening, select the start and end interval (in time). We distinguish it by inversion, as indicated above. Press the right mouse button and select "Copy". After that, in the “File” menu, select “Create”. In an empty window, it remains to click "Insert" 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 “disease” of many mobile phones is the insufficient intensity of the sound signal. Very often, even with the volume “turned to the fullest”, the melody sounds too quiet. There is a solution. Having opened the sound file in Sound Forge, you need to select the "Volume" item in the "Processing" menu. The slider in the window allows you to adjust the intensity, and the button next to it allows you to listen in real time, selecting the volume for yourself so that there is no overload.
After the adjustments made, you must not forget to save the file and upload it to the phone.
How to cut music on a call without a computer
You can adjust the ringtone in the phone itself. Of course, you should not expect functionality from programs for a mobile phone, as in desktop versions, but they also cope with basic tasks. For example, a very good application is Ringtone Maker, which can be used for free. Having launched it, you need to click on the green arrow. The familiar Sound Forge frequency band opens. By moving the two slider, you can select the desired area and save it.
