Make your own ringtone

It's a measure of the power of teen priorities on the web that Google responds to a keyword search for "make own" with "make own ringtone" followed by "make own myspace profile". So the person who figured that "makeownringtone.com" would be a winning address was onto a pretty safe deal. And what could have been yet another ad-driven, popup-ridden heap of tackiness developed for the sole purpose of relieving teenagers of their parents' cash is surprisingly not only useful, but free.

The site's core engine is straightforward: user uploads an audio file of their choice, in one of a range of several popular formats, from their computer; they are shown a graphical image of the audio as a standard time/volume envelope, and they can use the dynamic controls on the page to find a section they like and mark that as their ringtone. The resulting file is converted to the right format, if necessary, and may then be downloaded to either their computer, or their cell phone, or even to their email account.

The learning curve, then, depends on whether the user has seen audio represented this way before, and can quickly grasp the idea of moving start and end markers around within that image. The controls are more than adequate, but a bit of background in simple sound editing is going to help a lot.

Once the user has made the selection, there are three options for further file modification: easy mode, advanced mode, and experienced mode. Easy mode is going to work for many users, but even here, there are options to select bitrate, and fade at start or end or both, and normalization. Fortunately, if the user doesn't know what bitrate their file is, the site will tell them - but only if they get it wrong the first time. This could probably be improved, though I get the impression that the site designers have erred on the side of intelligent complexity rather than dumbing down, and that's rare enough that I'm not sure I'd entirely welcome the change.

Moving on to Advanced and then Experienced modes, the user is given increasingly interesting options to mess around with, up to adding multiple special effects to their file, changing the speed, stretching the file out, altering EQ and more. There's even a single-band filter to cut specific frequencies from the sample. This is all very cool, though I can't imagine that any phone exists which can reproduce all the effects and modifications here with accuracy. Mind you, since I rarely use any hardware which is under five years old, cell phone included, things might have moved on a bit since I last looked.

I suspect that most users will at least initially stumble over descriptions such as "band-reject filter with central frequency (in Hz) frequency, and (3db-point) band width dispersion in Hz", or the amazing detail of the Flanger effect, which has a whole ten user-adjustable parameters. And I might know what a two-pole shelving filter is, but frankly who needs to know, when they just want to turn the bass up?

This is an astonishing piece of audio editing software, running dynamically in a browser in true Ajax style, as a desktop application. It is utterly, totally, over the top for creating a ringtone but my goodness, it's awesome in its range of options. And it manages up- and downloading files with smooth efficiency and in a range of formats and it converts, too. According to some of the user comments onsite, it doesn't always work perfectly, though the trial I gave it went off without a hitch. And Google Chrome users, at the time of writing, are going to be stumped - the controls do not appear, and there is no Upload button.

I could imagine a number of uses for this application, beyond messing with ringtones, though the most obviously missing feature, being able to cut-and-paste samples together, would require the service to be able to store files very considerably longer than they need to handle now. That may not be practical in terms of storage or bandwidth costs, but if it is, this may be a groundbreaking concept.

Kids and teens who just want to make simple ringtones without the science would probably benefit from something even simpler than "easy mode", since it's not really all that easy, and some more obvious and less highbrow instructions and descriptions. But anyone enthusiastic about overcoming the limitations of their cell phone's sound reproduction, and who is willing to put a little time into mastering the many controls and options, is going to have serious fun here.
