How To Make A Ringtone Garageband 1.3

Version 1.3 of Garageband for iPad, iPod, and iPhone was announced today. The good news is it has some cool new features. The bad news is some of the features are not compatible with older iOS devices.

Now you can make your own ringtones from within your iPhone. The following is a tutorial that will show you how to make a ringtone from within your iPhone using Garageband Ver 1.3. Also, this app makes full use of the larger iPhone 5 display size (duh it’s an Apple product).

First off, there are two ways to get your own tunes (songs you produced and didn’t purchase from iTunes) into your ringtones from within your iPhone using Garageband. The first is to create a song within Garageband version 1.3 or later and simply send it to your ringtones using the new ringtone feature in Garageband.

It’s quite simple. Create a song. Save it.

Garageband-iPhone-Ringtone-Tutorial-Save

Hit the down arrow in the top left hand corner.

Garageband iPhone Ringtone Tutorial Step 1

Select the tune you want to be your ringtone (it will be highlighted with a green frame). Hit the Share button (Rectangle with arrow in it).

Select “My Songs”.

Hit “Edit”.

Garageband iPhone Ringtone Tutorial Step 2

Scroll down to “Share song as ringtone”.

Their is another way to get pre-existing songs that you have mixed down and added to your iTunes library into your ringtones and that is to import them from from the “Loop” section.

Garageband Ringtone iPhone Tutorial Step 3

Click on the Loop icon.

You’ll see both Apple loops and Music. Select music and you’ll see your songs.

Repeat the steps above to share to your ringtones.

You can also use a desktop or notebook and import into your Garageband shared folder in iTunes from the computer. It’s just like importing loops into Garageband for iPhone as seen in this tutorial http://ipadloops.com/import-loops-in-garageband-ipad/

Now you might see a feature in Garageband for iPhone called “Copy from : iTunes”. Well ,this only works for songs you’ve purchased. (Please correct me if I’m wrong but I could not get it to see the songs I did not purchase such as my own songs). If you’re like me, you like to create your own original ringtones from songs you produced using your PC. This work around will allow you to import your tunes as loops and samples into Garageband on your iPhone and then share them directly through the phone to your ringtones. You will probably want to set a short looping section as you are limited to a set number of seconds for ringtones. It will not play your entire 6 minute epic composition =]

What’s New in Version 1.3

• Create custom ringtones and alerts for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch*
• Import songs from the Music library on your iOS device
• Play or record with GarageBand in the background while using other apps**
• Addresses a number of minor issues related to overall performance and stability

* Requires iOS 6 or later
** Requires iPhone 4S, iPad 2 or later

Garageband is available FREE

Midi Guitar App For iPad

Midi Guitar App For iPad

Turn ANY guitar into a polyphonic guitar-synthesizer or record tablature by playing it.

✮✮✮✮✮ Introductory discount: 75% off WIFI-MIDI upgrade

MIDI Guitar is the world’s first app to transcribe guitar playing into MIDI. The transcription runs in real-time, with latency and accuracy comparable to inconvenient hardware MIDI guitar solutions.

MIDI guitar is 5 years under development and based upon new patent-pending polyphonic pitch detection and –prediction technology that can accurately recognize polyphonic signals, such as complex chords or finger-playing with very low latency and without spurious hits.

MIDI Guitar uses WIFI-MIDI to communicate with digital audio workstations in a frictionless setup or Cable-based MIDI (recommended) for lowest possible latency. It also drives other iOS synth apps using Apple’s virtual MIDI standard.

In order to use MIDI Guitar you need a iPhone 4 or newer, iPod 4th generation, or any iPad. You also need a guitar interface for best results. We recommend the iRig and are currently testing other interfaces. Using an acoustic guitar with the built in microphone might work for some purposes but is not optimal.

The app is FREELY available for evaluation with built in piano sounds. MIDI output (WIFI-MIDI, Virtual-MIDI and Cable-MIDI) is offered as an in-app purchase.

Note that WIFI-MIDI is only supported on the Windows platform via 3rd party apps, and might cause latency issues for some.

Midi Guitar is FREE

Guitar Teaching App For iPad

Strumify is the music teaching app that listens to you play a real instrument. Featuring a powerful real-time listening engine, easy-to-read graphics, and multi-touch interface – Strumify makes practicing and learning to play fun.

Strumify has built-in support for Guitar, Ukulele, Baritone Ukulele and Mandolin. It works with both acoustic and electric instruments. (Electric instruments require the use of an instrument adapter.)

Strumify will help you become a better musician because it emulates many of things a real teacher does:
– Adapts to your speed and abilities
– Shows you clearly what to do
– Plays it for you so you can hear how it sounds
– Listens as you play,
– Gives you feedback on what you’re doing well and how you can improve

The built-in Progression Maker lets you dial in thousands of combinations of chord progressions and strumming patterns.* Find a sound you like and play along to get in the groove. Strumify will show you the chord diagrams and strumming direction.

Add songs and exercises via in-app purchase, or import your own songs in PowerTab and chopro formats.*

Use the simple yet powerful Song and Progression Editor to quickly edit and save your own songs. Customize progressions and strumming patterns. Share the songs and exercises you create with others via e-mail – great for music teachers, classes and bands!*

(*Note: song import, song/progression editor and full-access to progression maker require In-App Purchase to unlock.)

Strumify will let you slow down the music to match your ability. Or, learn new songs and tricky parts by stepping through them one beat at a time. When you reach the end of a song, Strumify generates a report card showing you your rhythm and pitch accuracy overall, by chord, and even by chord transition.

Other key features:
– Built-in tuner
– Support for multi-track songs and many instrument sounds
– Piano tracks show you which keys to play
– Drum tracks highlight which drums to play on a drum kit view
– Multi-track volume controls.
– Alternate scrolling tablature view
– Built-in help videos.

Works on iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPad, and iPad2 or greater. Also works on iPhone3GS, but very fast complicated music may cause some hiccups.

Strumify is available for free
