Help Me Decide On A Ringtone

Personally, I use the 1812 Overture as my default ringtone. DH likes the 2001 theme (can't spell the real name :)), so I've assigned that one to him.
 
Also Sprach Zarathustra.

I use custom for a few friends. If I hear the phone go off, I know who it is. Other friends have a group tone, commercial another. Even the Vulcan recognizes some.

Between that and missed calls, I've been able to get rid of Voicemail. I don't check it anyway. Now it's blacklist a spammer - go to voicemail - no voicemail. Tough.

The Vulcan's ringtone is "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly." Usually freaks people out.

I also use MID format. They are all over and free. Spammers ringtone is the MIDI of Cocaine.

Wow, it turned into a 70s sitcom :O


Here's my current one:

Chrono Cross
 
I'm quite partial to "the bridge" theme tune right now. Although whether its appropriate for a ring tone, I'm not sure. Will try and feedback ;)
 
I wish I could help, but I change my phone ringtone every few days (just changed it this morning actually). I'm always hearing an old song that I like, and there goes another ringtone.
 
I'll tell you what - if these damn political survey calls don't stop - I'm gonna cut part of the Rolling Stones "Sweet Virginia"

"Got to scrape the shit right off your shoes"

Won't bother them, but will make me feel better. I usually use MID, but this time I'd want vocals!

I don't answer the calls anyway. I look up the number from the call log.
 
I use Carry On My Wayward Son by Kansas. Growing up I always loved the song, but even more so now that I'm addicted to Supernatural. ;)

Really? The first three minutes or so are virtually inaudible unless you're in a very quiet room. :confused:

Wanna make sure you hear your phone ring? Use pretty much anything from the Dead Kennedys as your ringtone. :D
 
I strongly prefer instrumentals, and I use a piece of the finale (Audacity helped a lot there, I was able to snip out the soft part and get right to the attention-getting segment).

Right on. Audacity's ability to stretch out the waveform display so you can edit not just a point of silence, but to make your cut right at a zero crossing point so there's not the tiniest click or pop in the sample makes it a killer tool. To think that we used to use a can of ferrofluid and a razor blade to accomplish the same thing!
 
The Vulcan managed to get the opening bars of "Satisfaction" on the 6085. That guitar is LOUD and the Nokia 6085 is LOUD. I must jump about 3 feet when that damn phone goes off. He uses it for notifications, too and has the phone on vibrate. If you leave that phone on a hard surface, the noise is incredible.

I turned him onto Audacity. We used to edit by re-recording with a 2 cassette unit. I used Sound Forge (pre Sony) for some stuff at work.
 
I have the GS3 and have the default whistle for the notifications so I got the whistle from kill bill as the ringtone from zedge. It's sweet!

HEY!

I just got hit by a brain storm! :D

You know what would make an awe inspiring ring tone???

Record yourself swearing and use the most horrid you can think of... like:

Mother ****** and stuff like that!

Then everyone will be scared of you when they hear it! :)

Then you will have no more friends like me! :D
