Cinnamon Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I don't know much about Classical music,but I know I like some of it more than the rest or it There has been a piece played on the X-Factor,when they introduce the judges which is a classical piece,but from the Horror Genre. It is SO well known,but I cannot put my finger on who it is by or where it is from........ Does anyone know what it is - my daughter wants it as her ringtione Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I think it may be O Fortuna from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. I keep hearing it whilst I am out of the room, so assume it is it. Does it make you think of Old Spice adverts, Sarah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I don't watch X-factor, so don't know! When you said 'Classic horror' I thought of the D minor prelude and fugue by J S Bach. It has been used a lot in horror movies, usually on an organ. O Fortuna is a big choral piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 just a tip If your phone can play MP3s as a ringtone then I use this http://www.mptrim.com/mpTrim.zip You can trim bit's off the start and ending of a track you want and then save it. Whats really good is how you can really pinpoint it down to where you want it to start - so if you are a perfectionist like me!, you can trim it frame by frame!! You can just have the chorus bits or a verse or whatever you fancy. I haven't bought a ringtone in over a year as I "make" my own. It's so good as you can get a totally unique ringtone, that you can send to your friends as it's not locked like the ones you buy as well as getting the latest music on your phone! - plus really obscure stuff that the ringtone people don't make! My current ringtone is Madonna Hung Up. I just get the bit where she sings "ring ring ring goes the telephone, the lights are on but there's no-one home" I've got loads of others. They also do a WAV trim but I haven't really used it much. Similar thing but it lets you do the same thing to a WAV. file - like a Windows media player file etc. A xx EDIT: http://www.mrsite.co.uk/usersitesv3/one-man-banned.co.uk/wwwroot/page5.htm I've added one of the edited tracks (Sclub7's Alive) to the jukebox on my website.

Cinnamon Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Andrew, that is brilliant & just what I need. I was wondering how I can crop out the quiet bit (nothing worse than a ringtone which is so quiet you can't hear it!) Thanks so much! I can see the girls & I having hours of fun with this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
