How to Turn Any SONG to CUSTOM Ringtone on iPhone
Hey everyone in this video, I wanted to show you how to set up any song on your phone as your ringtone and the process is really straightforward and it's actually free using an app that usually comes with your iPhone. So let's go through the process right now. The app we need to do this is called garage band.
So a lot of times your phone will come with a garage band. So you could search for a garage, man. I'll put a link in the description to this app. So you can just click it if you don't want to search for it, it'll launch iTunes or your app store, and it'll start downloading it. As soon as you press download, go ahead and download it.
It looks like I've already deleted mine just to make up some room. So as soon as this downloads, I'm going to show you the very next step. As soon as the download is done, I'm going to go ahead and press open. Now I'm going to press continue on the very first page and I'm going to say use garage band right here and I want to go to the audio recording. So if you scroll down to the left here, just keep scrolling till you find the option here called the audio recorder. Go ahead and tap that right in the middle and arrow launch audio recorder and we want to go to our track here. So if you tap on the top left, you should see a track icon.
I'm just going to go ahead and circle that for you. So now we're in the track icon. Now on this page on the top, right? There is something called the Omega icon and that's right next to the wrench icon. So go ahead and press that. And here you have three options on top. You have Apple loops. You'll have audio files and you'll have music files.
So the music files are things that are going to be on your phone and the Apple loops are things that are already built into garage band. You have those three choices here. We're going to jump into music because we want to choose a song that's on our phones. So here on their music, you could search by songs.
You could search by albums, artists, whatever you want in this case, I'll just go to artists. I'll just choose the. The first one here, even my podcast show up here, I'll choose the first one here and this is the song I want to drag on us. Some songs are not locally stored on your iPhone or they're protected.
They're not going to be able to turn into ringtones, but that is not the common case. So what I want to do is take the song. I'm putting a finger on it and I'm going to drag it and as soon as I drag it, it'll bring it right here. Importing the audio file to my track and then if I just bring it right to the very beginning, snaps to the very beginning, now songs are limited to 30 seconds for ringtones.
So now I just got to trim this and make it 30 seconds long. So in order to make my song 30 seconds, what I want to do is press the plus sign on the very top right corner and I'm going to change the section to be 30 bars. So if I click that, I could change it manually to 30 here and that'll get me 30 seconds.
I'm going to press done and now it's 30 seconds long. So now if I take my song, I am fully at 30 seconds. You see taking the very far end of this and I'm making a short or long, so 30 seconds is perfect. Now I have a 30 seconds long. So that's what I mean by trimming your song to exactly 30 seconds.
So it could be used as a ringtone. So pick your favorite 30 seconds here. You can press, play, and listen to the song and see which one fits within that 30 seconds. Obviously, you want the very beginning of it to be there. Favorite part of the song that you want to play for the first five to 10 seconds or so.
So now we want to click the arrow on the top left. So I'm going to go ahead and click that arrow and I'm going to say my song. I'm going to choose that now he's saving it to my song here. So now from here, I got to choose to make a ringtone, and I'm going to show you how to do that. So now that the song has been saved, what you want to do is click slightly on it and just press and hold and you should get this option, this menu option that should give you a share option right in the middle there. So again, this is where you're at. You don't have to press anything, just hold the song, not too much. That is going to open that track just enough that you get this menu option and then press share, and you'll get this new.
Page in this page, you want to save it obviously as a ringtone and not as a song, but you can save that as a song or a project I'm going to press ringtone here, and then it says your ring tone needs to be adjusted to be 30 seconds. So I'm going to press continue. I'm going to export my ringtone here as my song and now I'm going to say, use sound as a standard ringtone. So I'm going to go ahead and press that. So now it's been set as your ringtone, but another way to do it is through the settings. So let me show you how to set it as a ringtone through the settings, especially when you set up multiple ringtones like this.
So now I'm going to jump into the iPhone settings here. I'm going to go all the way down here to sound. I'm going to press sound and then ringtone. I'm going to press ringtone here and as you could see song, the song I created in a garage band is set right now as my ringtone, because I set it through garage band.
But if he wasn't, if it was set to something else, you could go ahead and choose that to be the ringtone. So now every time my ringtone starts playing, that's going to be what my phone sounds like. So that's how you set up the custom ringtone using garage band completely for free and you could use any song that is already stored on your phone.
