Ringtones for your iPhone with GarageBand

[socrates63]

I had been wanting to make ringtones for my iPhone for a while. Really, I should correct that and say alarm 🔔 and not ringtone since I keep my phone in silent mode. In the past, I purchased a few video game and movie ringtones from the App Store. However, recently, I've wanted them from M.U.L.E. and Jumpman. I couldn't find. any in the store, so I decided to make my own.

How do I do that on the iPhone? I searched online and the first method pointed to using the Music app. Don't bother. I searched some more, and found an article that talked about using GarageBand, and we found a winner.

I downloaded YouTube videos that captured the game songs from Atari computers, and I extracted the audio from them. Following the steps in the article, I opened them using GarageBand, followed the steps, and exported the ringtones. They were found under Settings > Sounds & Haptics.

I shared the M.U.L.E. theme with my wife last week and gushed about how I loved the game. When she heard my alarm go off in the morning yesterday, she looked at me and smiled.

I'll have to remember and try this.  A M.U.L.E. ringtone would be really cool.  Or the Bruce Lee theme.  Or the Rescue on Fractalus theme.  Once you open the door, my mind can think of 100 things to record that way.
