I just made two aac ringtones from deval's method, I dont have Quicktime Pro so I used the dBpower Amp to convert them to m4a. The ringers sound ok, but the quality is not that good it sounds "empty" like a qcp ringer it doesn't have that CD quality effect. Can someone please help on how to fix this and make the quality greater? I would appreciate it!

First, you might want to try the process in this link:

It's a process similar to what I use, but explained far more clearly than I ever could manage! :)
Second, I'm curious - what sort of quality was the original file that you used to make the ringtone? I've found that any mp3 under 128kbps tends to come our garbled, when I'm making a ringtone. In general, I refuse to use any sound file that comes in under 192 kbps, when I'm aiming for sound clarity.

flim fam is right... the lower the sound quality coming in the lower the outcome even if the end bitrate for all the files is the same. Quality tends to be lost in every conversion you make.

We mean the source file bitrate... when you download mp3's off the internet or rip from a cd they should never be less than 128 to start with. I like to use no less than 192.

Since you have dBpower amp installed, just hover over your file. A window will pop up with all sorts of useful information. I haven't used it in a while and no longer have it installed, but if my shoddy memory serves me correctly, the bitrate information is towards the bottom.

Actually, you don't even need to use any special software to see the bit rate of your mp3. Presuming you use Windows, just open up the directory where your mp3 is located. Right-click anywhere inside that window, and select View --> Details. Now, right click at the column header (where it says 'Name', 'File Size', etc.), then select 'Bit Rate'. You'll be able to see the bit rate of all the sound files in the directory, after that.
