I have no doubt that you have a considerable amount more detailed
knowledge concerning those subjects than I have enough time left
to learn. I may, if alright with you ask a question about the
subjects from time to time. Thanks for your consideration either
way.


Sure, if you want. I don't have any special magical knowledge,
I've just been doing it for a long time and learned by trial and
error, and by knowing a few people who know a lot more than I do.
It's all practical knowledge based on experience. I'm a musician
with a small bedroom studio where I record my own stuff, mix other
people's music, and transfer vinyl and tape to digital.


Nice...The gift of music creation wasn't passed to me. I'm unable to
sing or play any musical instruments. Various relatives oth do have
it. I've done a small amount of mixing and alot of transferring from
one to another, but, not for audiophile preservation purposes in so
much as they were client requests.

To make a ring tone:

1) pick an attention-getting bit of digital music.

2) use an audio editor like Audacity or any of the many tools
specialized for this purpose. Trim out a 10 - 30 second excerpt.
Fade the ends in and out if you want. Most clips need no
processing of any kind unless they are very quiet, in which case
you might want to normalize the clip. No other processing is
needed. EQ is unnecessary. Folding down to mono is unnecessary.
Removing DC offset is unnecessary. You cannot damage a phone with
a music file.

3) Save as a medium-quality MP3 or OGG. It's a ringtone for a cell
phone, for God's sake - high audio quality is not the goal or even
desireable.

4) Transfer to your phone using your favorite method.

The End.


Very well put.
