Software Untuk Membuat Ringtone

Kalian punya lagu yang ingin dijadikan ringtone atau nada notification handphone, tapi saat digunakan sebagai ringtone ternyata lagunya kepanjangan dan jadi mengganggu. Atau kita hanya ingin bagian tertentu saja sebagai ringtone, bukan keseluruhan lagu. Nah, salah satu jalan keluarnya adalah dengan mengedit atau memotong file audio tersebut. Ada banyak software atau aplikasi yang bisa digunakan untuk mengedit file audio, salah satu yang sering saya gunakan adalah Audacity.


Audacity is a free, easy-to-use and multilingual audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. You can use Audacity to:

• Record live audio.
• Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs.
• Edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV or AIFF sound files.
• Cut, copy, splice or mix sounds together.
• Change the speed or pitch of a recording.
• And more! See the complete list of features.

Kelebihan dari software ini adalah ukurannya yang kecil jadi tidak berat, dan yang paling penting, software ini free alias gratis. Kalau mau download langsung dari situsnya saja agar bisa update terus kalau ada update terbaru di,

Salah satu kelemahan dari Audacity ini, dia tidak bisa langsung digunakan untuk export ke mp3 dikarenakan adanya kendala dalam hal hak paten. Tapi tenang saja, developer Audacity sudah menyediakan jalan keluar yaitu dengan menambahkan library tambahan yang bernama LAME MP3 Encoder.

Download LAME MP3 Encoder

Petunjuk cara install LAME :

Windows

1. Go to the download page
    Left-click this link, do not right-click.
2. In "For Audacity on Windows", left-click the link Lame v3.99.3 for Windows.exe and save the file anywhere on your computer.
3. Double-click "Lame v3.99.3 for Windows.exe" to launch it (you can safely ignore any warnings that the "publisher could not be verified").
4. Follow the Setup instructions to install LAME for Audacity, making sure not to change the offered installation location of "C:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity" (or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Lame for Audacity" on a 64-bit version of Windows).

You should now be able to export MP3s without any further configuration, choosing File > Export... then selecting "MP3 Files" in the File Export Dialog.

Troubleshooting
Occasionally, there can be .dll conflicts on the computer. Try right-clicking this alternative 3.98.4 build of lame_enc.dll. Choose "Save Target As" or "Save Link As" and save it to "C:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Lame for Audacity" according to where you installed LAME previously. Accept any prompts to replace the old file with the new one. Then try exporting an MP3 again.
If there are still problems, they will likely be due to a conflict with Audacity still trying to detect the path to an older lame_enc.dll file. To correct this:

1. Ensure there are no older versions of lame_enc.dll in any locations where Audacity detects it, namely:
• C:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity (where the installer puts the new .dll)
• the Audacity installation folder (usually C:\Program Files\Audacity) or in the Plug-Ins folder inside that
2. Exit Audacity and navigate to the 1.3 preferences .cfg file at:
• Windows 2000/XP: Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Audacity\audacity.cfg
• Windows Vista/7: Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Audacity\audacity.cfg.
3. Open audacity.cfg in a text editor such as Notepad, and delete the two lines starting with:
   • [MP3]
     MP3LibPath=
4. Save the changes to audacity.cfg and restart Audacity

Note that the above four steps will remove old paths to lame_enc.dll for Audacity version 1.3 and later only. If you still use (or have ever used) Audacity 1.2, that version will continue to look for the .dll in the location stored in its own Preferences setting.
