Overview
A focused, fast course that walks through two different methods for creating an original custom ringtone using GarageBand for iOS, without sampling existing music. Each method builds a different style of ringtone step by step, and most students, based on testing, finish in around 15 minutes.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants a personalized ringtone for their smartphone and prefers a quick, guided project over open-ended tinkering in GarageBand.
Key takeaways
- Two methods: two distinct step-by-step approaches to building a ringtone
- Original audio: techniques that don't rely on sampling existing music
- Fast turnaround: most students complete a ringtone in about 15 minutes
Note the course is optimized for GarageBand for iOS 2.1, with a supplementary section covering changes introduced in version 2.2; features from later versions aren't covered in the main videos.
About this course
This course will walk you through two different ways to create an original custom ringtone of your own for any smart phone.
Each method demonstrates creation of a different style of ringtone - step by step - and guides you through the process of getting a ringtone ready for your phone. The methods shown do not involve sampling music.
When tested with students, most completed their ringtone in 15 minutes or less but you may choose to spend a little more time getting sounds just right for you.
This course is optimised for GarageBand for iOS version 2.1 - however, Apple released version 2.2 of the App in January 2017. There is a section of Additional Information videos at the end of the course that cover the changes that were introduced with the new version. Features of version 2.3 (released November 2017) are not shown in the videos of this course.
Note: Methods to transfer audio to phones will be shown but it is up to you to know how to assign a ringtone on your phone.
Most of my students will know that I am currently working on my Advanced GarageBand for iPad course. Making a custom ringtone was originally going to be a section of that new course. However, the Advanced course has been taking more time to complete that I hoped, so I am offering this part of it completely free!
