Hi! I have 2 sounds here which I made for Skype and I'm making them available but thought others may be interested in what I did to make the sounds.
The First sound is a standard phone ring, only my opinion of course but the phone rings for incoming calls that come with Skype are absolute rubbish to say the least. The second sound I made was for Second Incoming calls, this sound is very similar to the Incoming call knocking tones given to us on our phone networks in Australia though the tones are shorter. For the first sound? Well I just sampled the ring of my Panasonic desktop telephone with my Zoom H1 recorder, copied to computer and normalised with Amadeus pro. The next sound for Second Incoming Calls I made using the tone generator of Amadeus Pro. Both these sounds are in AIF format, if you have a Mac then they can be added straight into your library using Skype's "Add Sound" feature, I won't go into details of how that works here. If you're using Skype for Windows then I suspect you'll have to convert these files from AIF to wave, I'm not up to date on the Windows version of Skype these days so I'd be interested to hear from anyone on list who can provide further information, just curious but it will probably benefit others too!
