Oh that's interesting! Maybe Garage Band automatically applies some kind of compressor to the exported sound?

Anyways happy to know it fixed itself :D

Yeah, old style ringers were the best. Simple and straight to the point, then at some point in history it started to go crazy.

I agree that for example when the phone is on a table or on a hard surface vibration can get really loud. Having it on your wrist it makes perfect sense

Then I definitely need to fix it, it shouldn't distort of course. I'll have a look tonight and see if I can fix it :) Thanks for the feedback!

Happy to see other people find it useful! I wasn't really foreseeing any updates, but interested to know if you have any ideas to expand the project

Not here to judge anyone... but this might be too much for me :P

That makes a lot of sense. 101 for example will hardly be heard in a crowded place.

I think these ringtones (especially 101 and 102) are more for people who almost always have their phone on silent and when they decide to turn on their ringtone they still want something very subtle

Mmm, I thought I fixed that! I should probably try them on a few different phones with different speakers. Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to fix them and will let you know

Glad you like them! Keeping it simple was the goal. Indeed I stopped at 4 variants, and they already feel like too many :D

Then you fall into the trap of making them a bit more original, and then a bit more, and then a bit more. But that would defeat the initial purpose of the project.

Hahaha, I'm interested in the project with the cows, did you manage to train them? Anyways yes, the 90s style classic phone ringtone is an all time classic and used it for many years as a ringtone

Haha, I respect the full-time vibrate lifestyle :) But yeah, that was exactly my purpose: a ringtone a that is just a little bit more than having vibrate mode on
