Make a ringtone from a song you own, with no ads. Your first 3 exports are free. RingMix turns the songs you love into custom ringtones and alert tones, right on your iPhone. Trim the perfect moment, isolate just the parts you want with on-device AI, and set it as your ringtone. No computer, no complicated steps. TRIM WITH PRECISION Scrub to the exact moment, snap to silence, and grab up to 30 seconds — the perfect hook, drop, or chorus. ISOLATE THE STEMS RingMix splits a song into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and more — all on your device. Mute the vocals for a clean beat, solo the chorus, or build your own mix. FADE, MIX, AND EXPORT Add smooth fade-ins and fade-outs, balance the mix, and export as a ringtone (.m4r), alert tone, or audio file — then set it right from the share sheet. WORKS WITH MUSIC YOU OWN RingMix edits songs you've purchased or audio files on your device. Apple Music, Spotify, and other streaming songs are copy-protected (DRM) and can't be turned into ringtones by any app — and a RingMix Pro subscription doesn't change that. If you can play it from a file you own, you can make it a ringtone. RINGMIX PRO Go Pro for unlimited exports and full stem control. Includes a free trial; cancel anytime. Pro applies to songs you own — it doesn't unlock streaming music. Your song. Just the parts that matter. Terms of Use: https://ringmix.app/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://ringmix.app/privacy/

About

Layrise

Features
Read full description

Layrise is an instrument practice player that transforms the songs you own from simply "listening" to "playing." Find the sound you want to practice from the original song, repeat difficult sections at your own pace, and check them against lyrics or sheet music. From playing by ear and minus-one backing tracks to personal practice and band preparation, Layrise consolidates your practice environment for each song into one place. **Focus on the Part You Want to Hear** * **AI Stem Separation:** Separates vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and more depending on device performance. * **Stem Mixer:** Adjusts volume, mute, and solo for each part. * **External Stem Import:** Synchronizes and plays your own multi-track audio files. **Repeat Difficult Sections at Your Own Pace** * **Tempo Adjustment:** Changes speed from 0.50x to 2.00x while maintaining pitch. * **Key Adjustment:** Changes pitch from -12 to +12 semitones while maintaining speed. * **Loop Practice:** Repeats A-B sections or analyzed song segments. * **Metronome / Count-in:** Customizes beat display, sound, volume, and pre-roll clicks. **Understand the Song Structure Visually** * **AI Music Analysis:** Estimates BPM, time signature, chord progressions, song sections, and key. * **Timeline:** Displays waveforms, chords, bars, and sections alongside the playback position. * **Analysis Correction:** Edits chords and sections to suit your practice needs. * **Synced Lyrics:** Supports LRC and Enhanced LRC, highlighting current lines and spoken words in sync. * **Sheet Music / TAB:** Imports Guitar Pro, MusicXML, and MXL files with a cursor tracking the playback position. Supports multi-track display on iPad. **Organize Songs for Instant Practice** * **Importing:** Supports files, iOS Music Library, and Layrise packages. * **Library Management:** Organizes tracks using favorites, metadata, artwork, and setlists. * **Playback Controls:** Supports playback queue, background playback, and Lock Screen/Control Center controls. * **Sharing:** Exports projects containing analysis results, stems, and sheet music as Layrise packages. Audio analysis and stem separation are performed locally on the device by default, without uploading your audio files to external servers. * AI features require downloading models during initial setup or first use. * Available AI models depend on free device memory. Processing speed and separation quality vary by device performance, song complexity, and audio quality. * Certain audio sources, such as DRM-protected tracks or cloud-only files, may not be supported.
