'Sharing' / Exporting GarageBand file as a ringtone.

Hi Quinn,

Seems a song is too long to be exported as a ringtone (can be trimmed to to be 30 seconds or less ).

.. also some songs / music / is copyrighted.

Re: "Song cannot be exported - A song can only be exported if it contains a recording of a Touch Instrument or a Live Loops performance to Tracks view."

How to: Import a song from the Music app into GarageBand for iPhone - Apple Support

Eg says:

"You can import songs from the Music app on your iPhone into Tracks view.

You can import a song to an existing Audio Recorder or Amp track, or

have GarageBand create a new Audio Recorder track for the song.

(We can also use the "loops" already in Garageband to create our own ringtones).

For info on exporting completed ringtones:

Scroll down to: "Share a GarageBand song as a ringtone or text tone":

Eg: says: "The maximum length for exported ringtones is 30 seconds.

If the exported ringtone exceeds the maximum length, a dialog appears.

Tap Continue to have GarageBand shorten the ringtone automatically,

or tap Cancel to return to the song so you can shorten it".

(You can make changes using the tools available in the Garageband app.)
