Title: Skype Ringtone
Post by: BlueBlaster on Tuesday, October 19, 2010, 22:30:39 PM
Back once again with a new creation! Okay props to anyone who knows what song I sampled-ish.
I recently hopped on the Skype bandwagon. Just yesterday, Dann tried calling me but I completely missed his calls and messages because the default Skype sounds are actually pretty quiet. It didnt help that I was playing music and typing a paper either. No way to catch the notifications =\ Sorry Dannnnnnnnn.

I made my own "ringtone" for Skype, and it's loud enough so I can hear it. Like the last sound effects I made, I tried to start off simple; easy arpeggios or short chords and sound wave shapes like sine, square, and saw waves. After some tweaking, my "simple" sound shapes turned into a massive french house synth and I knew what I wanted to make, even though a house tune isn't exactly a ringtone.


I present you my creation below:

I might tweak that around a little because I like the way it sounds and I know it can become better even for a 30second ringtone.

BTW, the intro synth is a combination of square, saw, and sine wave at different pitch levels. I like combining simple shapes to make more complicated ones :D

Sounds good. Seems like you don't like startling ringtones either :)
