Ring Tone: Papaya - General Topics

I got sick of surfing all the dumb ring tone websites out there, and I wanted something I liked ... so, I created a ring tone myself.
I plan on releasing more as time goes on.
The ZIP file contains both Stereo and Mono versions, all transcoded in WMA (I found WMA files work best under WM5.)
This ring tone is released under the Creative Commons license. I hope you enjoy it.
Coming soon: a "variation" of the iPhone ring tone (my own original work--Apple can't take it down)

What software do you use to produce it? some MIDI->WAV->WMA process?

I use a MIDI setup with GarageBand on my iMac, export the file to .m4a, edit in Sony Sound Forge, and save as .wma.

huh. not bad at all.
certainly not grating and it's quite pleasant! I think I'll throw 'er on my phone and try it out.
Thanks for posting. We need more things like this. Enough with the hip-hop ringers, lol.

Here is the Kill Bill Nurse ringtone as above except I've converted it to WMA so that it will play on the xda. Simply put it in your windows/rings folder and you should be able to assign it as a ringtone from sound notifications.
Here are mine. I tend to alternate between the two depending on my mood.

WM6.1 Sounds Audio Files Types & Gain

I'm new to WM6.1 Pro. Was using Standard and got a new phone.
With my trusty old Tornado, I recall there was a time when it wouldn't use just any audio file (wav, mp3, etc) as an alarm, notification or system sound. Then, one day before I could investigate this phenomenon, I installed a Tornado ROM that made them all work.
So imagine my disappointment when Wilhelm III (yes, I named my phone, what of it?) with a 6.1 ROM wouldn't let me use just any old sound file.
So I need to ask, what criteria is this functionality based on? Is it determined by the location of the audio files? The encoding of the files? Does it have to be wma or wav, or specifically what codecs or bitrates?
With WM Standard, I was able to adjust maximum volume output through the AudioGain settings in the registry for BT, and Speaker (I could have adjust mic pick-up too but I had no need).
But it seems that WM Pro doesn't have AudioGain, so how do I tweak my phone to ring louder, and hear voices better?
And yes, I have searched, I do search, and despite being lost for hours and being greatly more informed about many things, I haven't found an answer that provided results for me. And despite my sudden return to noobishness, I am generally a very helpful person, so I think I deserve a freebie quickie question-response this time.
TIA

Custom ringtone question..

Hey guys,
I've been making my own ringtones with my phones for a while. Can anyone tell me what tech specs audio files should have to work as ringtones? I remember back on certain phones, if the quality was too high, it actually took the phone too long to play out the audio and interfered with your ability to answer.
Thanks for any help.
haven't run into any problems with using mp3's as ringtones easy rule of thumb is not to use the whole song since it won't play cut it down to 30 -45 seconds.
All I use are mp3 (320 kbps)files, I just use mp3 splitter and make them right on my device, haven't had any problems at all.

RingtoneTrimmer?

I'm running LolliGPE and was wondering if there's a way to get the ringtone trimmer back. I found "HtcRingtoneTrimmer.apk" on some download sites, but they all require security permissions that make me think they are spyware or something.
Anyone have a legit HTC Ringtone Trimmer APK that will work on Lollipop?
Do you have access to a computer? There are many ringtone makers/trimmers on the Play Store, but Audacity is a free (open source?) program that will let you trim mp3 files (among other things, it's quite powerful). What makes it so good is that you can find the starting point, and get real precise on the waveform exactly where you want it to start, so it's just right, and then set the length (30 seconds is good). And then you can apply effects, like have a fade-in, so your phone doesn't just start blasting your ringtone.

Samsung has a cool sound assistant app which made me wonder why no one else is trying that.

A lot of us read on our smartphones. Whether it's a social media post or something your boss sent you to read. The key thing is we all read. Now think of coming back from your job or school after a long tiring day. You have to read something and you don't feel like it. What would help you in this situation is an app called voice aloud reader.
Simply select the text, tap share, and choose the app. It will automatically start reading the text for you. You can turn your screen off and lie down on the bed or make a cup of coffee.
This is cool. You know what would be even cooler? Some background noise.
The voice coming from a Text to speech app never sounds like an actual human being. Sometimes it's harsh, sometimes there are words we don't comprehend clearly. Adding a calm song in the background from your Spotify playlist while listening to Voice Aloud Reader makes it much better so listen to that robotic voice. Almost the same as what Youtubers do nowadays.
But there's a problem. The sound coming from Spotify will have the same amount of loudness as the sound of the voice coming from VAR(Voice aloud reader). Because they're both using the same system sound. The music would be too loud at that point and VAR will be unrecognizable.
Samsungs Sound Assistant(SA) can tackle this. It has two handy features.
• Per-app sound profile: Let's you set different sound levels for each app. You can set 90 for Spotify when you listen to podcasts and 60 for your music player.
So the music player won't be too loud and the voice in Podcast won't be too low. You won't have to set it every time you open those apps.
• Multi Sound: Spotify and Music Player both will run and play preset sounds simultaneously. You can play Mozart on your Music Player, set the volume to 20. Come back and play Podcast and set its volume to 80. This fixes the problem I've mentioned earlier in my post.
Here's the conclusion. You might think there aren't many people who listen to something and want another thing to run in the background. I can't argue with that.
Then again, you won't know something you like until you taste it. I never knew I needed it until I used a Samsung phone for a week. It grew on me and it's hard to live without it now.
I made a post about anti-flicker/dc dimming a few months ago for people with sensitive eyes like me. I saw a lot of responses saying flickering problems happens to very few people. Now I'm posting about something even rarer. I know it's a long shot but if Samsung could do this years ago, others can do it now if they try. And I'll be hoping for something like this one my Xiaomi or Pixel.
