Garageband For Mac Tutorial

You now are running GarageBand 1.3, right?

How To Use Garageband On Mac To Make Ringtones

1. For the tools part, we’re going to use GarageBand v 6.0.5 from iLife ’11. I’ll be using music from my own iTunes library for the example, but as far as GarageBand is concerned, you can use any audio clip you want to make a ringtone. In the end the only limit is your creativity. GarageBand interface.
2. We will be using ‘GarageBand’ app, which is Apple’s official free app in the App Store. The GarageBand layout has been updated with iOS 13 & iOS 14 and this article is also updated for the respective changes 🏼 and will help you to make ringtone without iTunes.
3. GarageBand 4.1.1 or later iTunes 7.5 or later iPhone with software version 1.1.2 or later Which means that you will either have to upgrade your GarageBand or use another Mac friend Music Editor program to create your ringtone. I am not sure if Audacity has a Mac version but that is what I and alot of windows users use.

When I click on iTunes in the app I get no songs are available to copy.

You can add audio from the Loop Browser; there are now tree tabs: Apple Loops, Audio Files, Music.

Your iTunes songs appear in the Music tab. But what you see there, is restricted to local files on your iPad, and you see only files that are not subject to digital rights managements - no protected audio. Is the song that you want to use local on your iPad and and not DRM protected?

Once you have mixed your song from loops, shared audio files or iTunes songs - and have made sure it is no longer than 30 seconds, do the following:

1. Go to the 'My Songs' view.
2. Press the 'Edit' button and tap a song, until it wiggles.
3. Press the 'Share' button
4. Select: Share Song as Ringtone and enter a name.
