Fission 1.6 makes iPhone ringtones even easier

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Oct 28th, 2008

Rogue Amoeba has released version 1.6 of the nifty lossless audio editor Fission with a handy new feature: built-in iPhone ringtone saving. Fission has always been a great application for making relatively simple edits to audio files: cropping, trimming, cutting and pasting, etc. Now it makes turning MP3, AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or WAV files into iPhone ringtones a one-step process. Once you save a file as a ringtone it will automatically be passed to iTunes for syncing to your iPhone.

Of course you can do it the old-fashioned way with GarageBand, but if your audio file just needs simple editing the Fission method will likely be easier and faster. In addition to the ringtone saving (and various bug fixes), version 1.6 allows you to insert periods of silence into a file and exactly set the location of the playhead.

Fission 1.6 is a free upgrade to registered owners; it's $32 for new users and a demo is available.

Rogue Amoeba releases free Ringtone Maker

by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Sep 11th, 2007

Today brings a lovely treat from Rogue Amoeba, the makers of Audio Hijack Pro and Fission. They've posted MakeiPhoneRingtone, a free utility that converts any AAC file into an iTunes 7.4.27.4.1-compatible Ringtone. Drop the file onto its window and a second or two later, it appears in iTunes as a new ringtone. No file renaming, no special tricks. It just worked. I synced it over to my iPhone without any snags.

Of course, Rogue Amoeba hopes that you'll use its Fission editor to make those ringtones. If you're like me and prefer non-music-ringtones, its Audio Hijack Pro may be a better choice for recording sounds like a knock on the door or the most annoying ringtone ever made.

Rogue Amoeba updated two of their audio apps yesterday. Audio Hijack Pro is now at version 2.7.1 while Fission was bumped to 1.1.1. Each app gets improved AAC compatibility with the iPod Shuffle, while Audio Hijack Pro now works better with a RadioShark. Some other minor bugs were killed off as well.

Both updates are free to registered users.

Fission 1.1

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Nov 21st, 2006

Rogue Amoeba today announced the immediate availability of Fission 1.1, an update to their new audio editor. I have used Fission a few times, and I must say that this app is beautiful (dare I say delicious?). 1.1 adds the following features/fixes:
  • Native WAV support
  • Normalize command (to normalize audio)
  • Looped playback
  • Bug fixes
Fission is a Univeral Binary that costs $32.

Fission

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Oct 26th, 2006

I'm not much of a Firefox extension user, but Neil Lee suggested Fission and it rocks. It gives Firefox a progress bar in the URL window, a la Safari. This is one of my favorite Safari features, and now I can have it on the browser that I actually use for most of my web surfing.

Anyone else have any cool Firefox extensions that your fellow TUAW readers might enjoy?
