Has anyone used this to encode there MP3's for their phone?

My question is as follows----

I was told that you could rise the volume before or while saving your clip, how do you do this????

Thanks to those that respond!!

You're using a high end audio mixing program to encode your short clips to mp3's?

Another suggestion?

I use LAME. You can control the file sizes a little better, and it's probably a hell of a lot quicker:

http://www.hot.ee/smpman/mp3/

Go there, download it, and then you can make a simple text file with a line like this in it:
lame -b 24 -h -m m sample.wav sample.mp3

rename the file something like encode.bat
It doesn't matter what you name it, as long as it's extension is .bat

Double click on that file you just made, and it should encode the song.

the -b is for the bitrate: (24kbps)

the -h is for high quality

the -m m is for mono sound

and the file names are your input and output.

Simple simple simple

Then on that same page you can download an MP3 cutter, to splice up the parts of the song you want. This program is probably even easier.

I use Adobe audition exclusively. It is fast on my computer.

go to the drop down menus up top.

select "effects"

select "amplitude"

select "amplify/fade"

select "boost by 3db, or 6db."

10db boost is only for files that have way low volume. You don't want to peak it out so high it distorts.

save as 64kbps stereo.

clips no longer than 15 to 20 seconds as a lot of phones abruptly end your ringtone at that time marker.

Does your ringers come out loud doing this?

I can't wait to give this a try!

I am using the Adobe but when i send it to my phone through brewsky i am getting no sound. It shows that the file is there and it is taking up the space it said it would on the memory but there is no sound.

Everytime I download ringers to my phone they come in but not loud at all. I've tried to amlpify them but still its not very good.

Any ideals?

Thanks!

Posted by: harrington80

i am not stupid enough not to have the volume up. What do i do to the file in adobe to get it to work for my phone.

Posted by: harrington80

alright i have got the adobe to work making the ringtones but i need to know how to raise the volume up on the song so its louder when i put it on the phone.

Posted by: zootzee

I agree, it still seems too low

I have found Nero Burning ROM's Wave Editor to work VERY WELL. It's the only app I use to make my tones.

Do you need Nero (the whole version) to use this wave editor?

Posted by: jmhurd84

Yes, but isn't Nero everyone's choice in burning software already?

In order for your phone to play an MP3, the file must be converted to one channel as opposed to two (mono versus stereo). The phone will see the file, but it won't play it for that reason. Though I'm relatively new to the application, I use Audition 1.0 for MP3-editing, so the rest of these instructions were developed in Audition 1.0.

To change your MP3 to mono instead of stereo, open it in Audition, then click Edit/Convert Sample Type. Under Channels, change it to Mono, then click OK. After that's converted, I'll usually use a filter to take out all of the bass to eliminate distortion when it's being played on the phone.

To filter out the lower frequencies, click Effects/Filters/Scientific Filters. Click the Butterworth tab at the bottom, then click the High Pass button. Set the Cutoff to something like 800-1000 Hz. In the Order box, 6 is fine. To those unknowledgable, for example, this means everything below 800 Hz or so is cut out, and the rest remains. Too bad these phones don't have subwoofers, or else it could stay. Once that's done filtering, if you listen to it, you'll get an idea of what's left.

Now, what you need to do is select a part of the song to keep for your phone. Unfortunately, you don't have the time or the memory to store and use a four-minute-long track on your phone, so I usually select 15-30 seconds worth and trim the rest. Playing through the track and finding the part you want to keep is the hard part; toy around with it and select what you want to keep. Once you have it selected, right-click on the selection and click Trim.

What you're left with is what's going on the phone, with one exception. If you were to export this out to MP3, it would probably still use up whatever memory is free on your phone, even when it's much shorter than the original. Make sure the part you want to keep is selected, and click File/Save Selection. Click the Options button at the bottom. In the drop-down list that contains specs on the audio quality, change it to one of the 24 Kbps or 32 Kbps options, then click OK and then save the file to your ringtones folder.

The file will sound like shi-...crap on your computer, but you can't expect high fidelity sound from your phone, so it will sound just fine on it. The file's long enough to make a decent ringtone and small enough to be memory-efficient. I have 15 MP3's on my phone with plenty of room to spare for pictures, wallpaper, games, more MP3's, etc. I hope this is helpful to the few of you who need it. I had to figure it out the hard way, but I see that some of you are having a hard time; me to the rescue. Enjoy.
