Chris,
One of the features of Amadeus Pro or Lite is that it lets you interactively select the portion of any audio
track you want to process or cut out -- whether that's to excerpt, apply noise cleaning, use audio effects,
etc. If you selected a track, and didn't specify in any way that you wanted to select a section of the track,
the program will convert the entire track to the ringtone format. Drop some markers to select the part of a
track you want to make into a ringtone. For example, press space bar to start the track playing, then press
"P" to place a marker at positions you select, and press space bar again to pause the playback.
Use Option+Left Arrow to move to the previous marker position and Option+Right Arrow to move to the next
marker. If you're happy with the placement of the markers, use the "Selection" menu to mark the
part of the track you want select. You can move to the marker for your start position and use "Mark
selection" (shortcut Command-Shift-M.) Then u
se Comm
and-Right arrow to "Extend to next marker", which can also be found in the
"Selection" menu on the menu bar. You can check the selection by pressing space bar
again, and playback will start and stop at your selected region. Apply the function to export as a
ringtone to your selection. Note that you can copy, cut, and paste selections from tracks in
Amadeus Pro, so you could create a new track from you selection.
There have been some previous podcasts about Amadeus Pro discussed on this list by Allison, Paul
Hopewell, Eric Caron, and Dane. Here's a link to a post in the archives that gives some useful
links. (I used the link to the public Mail Archive that appears at the bottom of each page, typed
"Amadeus Pro podcast" into the text box, and pressed "return", then copied the
first link of the results):

(Note that the reference to the "Amadeus 101" podcast by Allison is from
Sarah's earlier post, quoted below my post, and given as the podbean site. You can also
use Control-P as a shortcut to read previous notes in threads at the Mail Archive, so
pressing Control-P twice will take you to Sarah's post. Eric and Dane submitted podcasts
to Blind Cool Tech when an earlier version of Amadeus Pro was in use, so the sources
listed in the linked post may be more helpful.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hello all.
I found a feature in Amadeus Lite to export a file as an iPhone ringtone. I
tried this, and it sort of works, except the whole file got exported. I realize
the limitation regarding iPhone ringtones in that they must be no more than 30
seconds in length.
So can anyone tell me where I went wrong please? I left the Export as iPhone
Ringtone settings at their defaults.
Alternatively should I use an app like Fission to do this?
Thanks!
