How to make a ringtone in Audacity

Today in class we were introduced to a new type of software called Audacity. It is an audio editer which allows you to easily edit any music file. In class we had to make a ringtone from and these are the steps I used:

1. Click on File > Import > Audio. Next Select the song you want.
2. Select the portion you want to use for your ringtone (15-30 seconds approx). To crop the song, click audio track and drag a selction area (either left or right). You can select the length you want in the timeline track.
3. Many phones will loop the track, so if you want to hear it loop, hold down Shift, while clicked green play button. To stop it press yellow stop button.
4. ext you can be as creative as you like, using the many effects. Examoples include Changing Speed, Pitch, Tempo, Equilization.etc.
5. Once you are happy with your track, Click File> Export.
6. Now you have a ringtone!
