All i use is cool edit pro, that's it. I don't know why everyone is going crazy for dbpower amp. Cool edit is all you need.

OK, I am feeling nice today.

First thing, open up the song you want to make a ringtone in Adobe Audition/Cool Edit. I don't think you need a pic for that. Now highlight the part of the song that you want to make a ringtone. To highlight, left click and hold down the mouse button and drag. Once you have what you want highlighted, click on "Edit" at the top, and select "Copy to New." This will open the highlighted part only in a new window.

Now, more than likely, the song is too loud, so you'll need the lower the volume. You don't want to volume too loud, or it'll sound like **** on your phone and possibly blow the speaker on your phone if its awfully loud. I recommend setting to at least -6dB. So to lower the volume, click on "Effects" at the top and then select "Amplitude" and then "Normalize."

(Normalize actually takes the highest peak in the waveform and sets it to the value you specify [-6dB], and changes everything else relative to that value)

Another screen will pop up which will let you select the settings. Make it look like this....

Click "OK," and it will then analyze the song and change the volume. Now from here, if you want to get fancy, you can add effects to your ringtone or fade-in or fade out. If not, you should be ready to save then.

Click on "File" at the top, select "Save As." Keep the file name under 20 characters.

For wavs, click on the down arrow and select "ACM Waveform (*.wav)." Then click on the "Options" button. Make the settings 8Khz, 8bit, mono format. Save this format so you don't have to do this everytime.

For mp3 ringtones, select mp3 from the drop down box, click on options, and make it look like this. Mp3s must be in either 32 or 48 Kbs format (48 better quality), 8000Hz, mono format.

That's about it. Now just load them to your phone in WebJal. Sticky?????

When I try to save mp3 to the right format in Audition I do not get a format that allows 8KHz mono. The lowest 48Kbs setting I get is somewhere around 22000Hz. Is there something I am missing or another way to manually change that setting?

Thanks, Jeff

Convert to MONO first then u will see that option

I've got a problem with Adobe Audtion. It will not let me change the sample rate to 8000. That part is grayed out??? I can change it to Mono as well as 8 bit alos.
I have tried with a couple different files (wav and mp3). Any ideas?

You mentioned to me in a thread a while back about using Audition (which I already had), and I finally tried it out a few nights ago. You were right, it works great! I saved a custom mp3 format that works with my phones every time.

From seeing your tutorial today (which is great), I see now how to normalize the audio, which I had been doing manually (guessing) for each track. One less step in the process now.

Thanks for taking the time to post that and help out.

You need to change it in the "advanced" settings, which will show up in the bottom left of the "save as" pop up box (after you click on the "advanced" button on btm rgt). Make sure you check the "save as mono" box before trying to set it to 8000, I don't think it will allow it when that box is unchecked. After you get it set up right, click the "add" button on the top to save this format for future use. (refer to Konix's post above to see the "advanced settings" area of the pop up window)

i copy the exact mp3 saving preference u showed on the pictures, but it still wont transfer through, whats wrong?

Posted by: Konix

Make sure to also uncheck the "Save extra non-audio information" box when you
go to save the mp3. If you don't it will save info to the ID3 tag of the mp3. ID3 tags need to be blank/clear before loading to your phone.

Yes, look at the pic above again. Effects->Amplitude->Amplify/Fade->Fade In/Out .

konix, thank you for the tutorial, but i have one slight problem. followed every instruction to the letter, got to the save as screen, all the settings matche dthe diagram. but, the checkmark box for "convertto mono" is shaded gray, it won't let me check it off. i saved anyways, uncheck the id3 tag box, and to no surprise to anyone here it does not load, probably because it says its about 132000 bytes which is way over the memory limit. now is there anything that i in my absent mindedness might have missed.

thanks,
ulises

Humm, the only reason I can see it doing that is because the ringtone is already mono. Reopen the ringtone file in Audition. Do you see 1 wave or 2?

You could also try saving the ringtone as a full wav (44100 Khz, 16bit stereo) first, then try to resave as an mp3. See if that helps.

Google "cool edit torrent"

That's as much help as I feel comfortable giving...

Posted by: jenna8110

Ok I got Cool Edit but when I tried to
download is came up with an error that
it was not supported and shut down.
Any ideas?

It would have helped if you told them you need a bit torrent client first before downloading a torrent file. Most people here are complete noobs to anything computer related.

But here is the full version of Audition....

http://rapidshare.de/files/2472484/...Keygen.zip.html

Go to ^that^ page and scroll down to the bottom and click on "FREE." Then on the next page that comes up, scroll down to the bottom again and wait for the timer to count down (~40-60secs). The download link will appear. Right click and save as to download. Unzip, install, enjoy.

Ok Konix, I got that one downloaded it and tried
to install it but said the same thing, system does
not support this application. Does that mean that
my Windows is too old, cuz if it is I'm out of luck?

True, I'm just not sure how much info is OK to give on this forum.

What version of windows are you running? If it isn't Windows XP or Windows 2000, then it is below the minimum specs for Audition which are:

400MHz or faster processor (2GHz or faster recommended)
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Windows XP Professional or Home Edition
64MB of RAM (512MB or more recommended)
75MB of available hard-disk space (700MB recommended for installing optional audio clips)

taken from here:
Adobe Audition minimum specs

I believe the minimum specs for Cool Edit Pro (what Audition used to be called) would essentially be the same.

mouching ringtones off people! LOL!!

konix this is a great tutorial and thanks for showing it to all of us. Is there anyway, though, that I can make the ringtone louder? I use an i870 and on max volume (7) the quality is perfect but it's extremely quiet.

Posted by: MTLean

is there anything else beside normalize for the .wav format
my quality sounds like chit

Then normalize it to a higher dB level. There's also amplitude (volume) increase option as well, just boost it up one or two dBs.

Well, every file is different. You might have to play with the dBs a couple of times to get it right. And a lot depends on the original source file, if it sounds like crap to begin with, then it'll sound worse as a ringtone, no way around it.
