GarageBand 4.1.1 & iPhone Ringtones

GarageBand’s newest update to v. 4.1.1 now has a Share option which includes Apple iPhone RingTones. So, now I can legitimately take something I’ve created in GarageBand (or made into a track in GarageBand… wink, wink) and turn it into one of the Blessed RingTones without having to pay the iTunes tax.

Thank you Apple.

[I'll have pictures up on this process soon. Or, maybe better yet a Seesmic post. Expect it will be up Monday unless we score electricity at our house over the weekend.]

Step 1: GarageBand 4.1.1 (aka iLife ’08). Just for giggles, create a Magic Project.

Step 2:  Then pick a genre

. Step 3:  Create your project.

Step 4: From the Share menu Send your Ringtone to iTunes. (be prepared to select a snippet of your creation)

Step 5: And, there she blows! An official ringtone in iTunes without paying the ferryman.

Now, that’s just too darned cool! I’m going to have to give this a serious spin.
