Which way will give us the best sounding ringtones?

schaffmoney

Oh so I am brand new here but I have read two very good ways to download ringtones to our phones here and at other forums;
One way is the BitPim way through their website and the second way is through our memory card and through my sounds...
The second definitely sounds easier, but then you would have to download a program to chop up your music to make it small enough to text to yourself...
So I was just wondering if anyone out there has tried both and if so which ones will give us the best sounding ringtones? And if you use the second way, what is a good, simple, free site to use to cut down my Mp3s? Thanks for your help thus far...

I don't use a site... I just use the sound editor that comes with Roxio easy media creator... there's one with Nero as well (but you can't get good sounding clips for some reason).

I suppose that you could use Audacity... look it up online (prolly at www.downloads.com). I've heard that a lot of people use it. I can upload a sample ringer that I've made for myself if you'd like an example.

this is a text/pic/voicemail notification I made from Sunglasses At Night.. I figured it wouldn't offend anyone and can't be hated too much.. right? 80s? yeah. 🤭

anyway.. here's one for a full on ringer as well. sorry if it's not your cup of tea, it's just an example.

these are two examples of full call ringers:

Calvin Harris - Acceptable In The 80s
(awesome.. you should visit his myspace.. he's from the UK)

and

Panic! At The Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies
(also awesome.. more mainstream than the first.. and be warned.. this ringer includes g*d d*mn.. so please don't open this if you're underage or are easily offended by "blasphemous" p...

I did this and it works fine, but... Is anyone else's ringtones distorted when you open them up in your phone?

distorted.... how? and you said it only happens when the phone is open? or just when you "open" the file?

describe exactly what's happening and I'll try to help.

i edit all my songs on my own with nero, burn them to a cd, rip them back to my computer as an mp3 file. then I change them from .mp3 to .mid and .midi. I have tried both and I can play them on my computer and it sounds fine but as soon as I send them to my number @vzwpix.com they sound horrible when I play them anytime on my phone. i have even tried putting them under my sounds and texting them to myself, this way they sound even worse.

I'm not sure why you would convert them to midi for the voyager -- it will play mp3's directly. You would only need to convert ringtones to midi on phones that don't support mp3. Otherwise, you'll get much better sound with the mp3. Just use a program like audacity to clip out which ever 30 second portion you want.

ok, I tried mp3's and they wouldn't work either. they work but the ringtones when then come on my phone have a lot of static and just don't sound good. and I have the venus, but I figured they are the same. No one responds on the venus forum so I posted here.

Hm, that doesn't sound like the experience people are having with the voyager. I've created several ringtone by exporting sections of mp3s using audacity and then texting them to myself. The only thing I've noticed is that sometimes, the original volume/gain is low and so I boost the volume a little in audacity before exporting the clip. I suppose if you are having the opposite problem, you could use audacity to reduce the gain somewhat and see if that makes a difference. If the audio is clipping because the gain is too high, it will sound distorted.

yeah.... nero does that. I tried to use it to create a ringer on the fly when I was at a friends house... after you make the ringer.. close down nero, then open the file that you created with the short ringer clip..

in my experience with nero, even when saving at a high bitrate, it makes a crappy quality sound file. I closed down nero and then opened the file I had created and it sounded like crap.. but hadn't sounded like that when I was creating it. I think what they do is play the cached version of the song from the original MP3 and not the final output file.

try shutting down nero and reopening it and listening to the small MP3 clip that you created. see if the ugly quality shows here.


also, did you try the sample ringers tha...

I play them using wmp on my computer. I tried downloading your files, sent them to myself and they still sound bad once I send them to my phone. Am I just out of luck?

I would say so... uhm, however I just tried the new bitpim update and it works flawlessly.

get bitpim. it's at http://www.bitpim.org/ and it's amazing.

use the cable that came with your voyager and after you've installed bitpim, connect the cable... it should recognize your phone and load the settings for it automatically. you should get a green light at the bottom and it should say "LG VX-10000 on COMxx Detected"

if you see this, you're good to go (like taco bell crunch wrap supreme, ya dig?) 🙂

then go to the icon on the tool bar that has the arrow pointed away from the phone and select Ringtone and replace all. then hit ok.. it should download some stuff from your phone.. it may take a minute.. the light in the lower left corn...
