Download free iPhone Ringtones
One hobby of mine since I was about 13 - 14 years old up to now has been creating music, although I am no pro some tunes came out pretty good I believe. I decided to make free iPhone ringtones from some of my songs. You can download them here for free if you wish. To use these ringtones just drag the file to iTunes when you have downloaded it and it should pop up as a iPhone ringtone, then sync with your iPhone. The genre of these iPhone ringtone files are in the Dance, Trance spectra. Just thought to give you a little heads up before downloading...

Be your own free iPhone ringtone maker
Wouldn't it be great to be able to make your own ringtone? Have something special that no-one else has? Sure you say but you might not know how to make music. And where to begin. Do not worry. I will show you how you can make your very own ringtone on your Mac.
For this guide we are going to use Garageband. This is a free music creation software you get when you buy a Mac. It is easy to use and it will do just fine for what we are going to do.
What type of iPhone ringtone do you want? What I often do is download MID files with music from old classic computer games. I then load that MID file into Garageband, edit the instruments. Maybe add some effects on my own and then save it as a ringtone. This way you will be adding better sounding instruments, and the end result will sound a lot better compared to the MID file you downloaded. So lets use a MID file from the game Castlevania for NES as an example. You can of course use whatever MID file you like. The process is the same.
Lets get started making free iPhone ringtones!
I am going to use this Castlevania MID file from VGMusic. You should download that file and place it onto your desktop for use throughout this guide. Listen to the MID file now if you wish, so you can hear the difference later on.
This guide is made with GarageBand 09. Start it up and select to make an iPhone Ringtone, and then Example Ringtone. Press the Create button. Do not worry about all choices you get, just follow this guide. You should now see a window with an example track looking something like the picture below.
We will want to delete the example track, select it and press CMD + Backspace. Or go to the Track Menu and select "Delete Track" and the track should be gone. Now, do you see that yellow bar in the image above? Thats the bar that decides how long your ringtone is going to be, max is 30 - 40 seconds. We want to turn that off for now. Press the button in blue you see in the image below.
What you do now is take the MID file you downloaded and drag it into Garageband. As you will notice garageband will analyze the file and assign instruments it thinks are a good choice. Try to press the play button if you want and listen. Already a improvement from the MID file right? However we want it to sound a little better, so we will change the instruments a little bit.
Your track list should look something like the picture below:
Now we are going to change the instruments to give this song a more Trance feel over it. First we need to get the instruments browser open. Click this button. The one marked in blue. You will find it in the lower Right corner of GarageBand.
Now you should see the instrument browser with Bass, Drum Kits, Guitars, Horns etc. We will now change the instruments to something I think sounds a lot better.
Change the first track called: Future Flute to this in the instrument browser: Synth Textures -> Boscobel Blips
Change the second track called: Future Flute to this in the instrument browser: Synth Leads -> Solo Star
Change the third track called: Future Flute to this in the instrument browser: Bass -> Tight Synth Bass
And the last Pop Kit track, change that to the following: Drum Kits -> Techno Kit
Click that Play button!. Sounds a little bit better, right? Amazing what you can do in just a few minutes. Imagine if you work on this for a few hours, you can do quite a lot in GarageBand actually. It is really fun to play with this. I can tweak the settings for hours until I get what I want. Now check the picture below for the next thing you can do.
Sounds even better and louder when you selected Dance Maximize?
This is a quick and fun way of making free iPhone ringtones. You can of course choose your own instruments if you do not like my choices or use another MID file as a source. You can actually do quite a lot in this application. To get this project to iTunes as a ringtone go to the Share menu and select Send Ringtone to iTunes. A new window will pop up telling you that the song you have is to long to be used as an ringtone. Click Adjust and you will get a yellow bar on top of GarageBand. You can drag and adjust this bar to the part where you want the ringtone. I selected the bar from 18 Measures to 34.
This guide barely scrapes the surface on what you can do. There are more settings to adjust. You can add delay, reverb. Other instruments. Maybe even totally change the arrangement and make something else. Have fun making your free iPhone ringtones for your Apple iPhone :)
