Quite possibly a noob question; Garageband related

Ok, so I'm using GarageBand to edit songs down the ringtone length, then exporting to iTunes, and then using Switch to format them in MP3. Problem is that my phone (Samsung SGH-A707/Sync if it matters) keeps saying one file in particular is too big to set as a ringtone...372KB, while another file in the same format is 136KB...both are running stereo sound and all that so I can't figure out that much of a size difference. Anyway, I'm wondering if there's a way in iTunes to turn off one of the audio channels and make it mono, that should cut the file size roughly in half, and it's coming through a cell phone speaker, so it won't make a huge quality difference...can I do that somehow?

how do you even make ringtones and put them on your phone?

Make a copy of the file in .aiff format, open GarageBand and drag the file to a track. Then just cut it to the section and length you want and save it. Then use Switch to change it to whatever format your phone plays and Bluetooth it over.

hey i just started doin this. i have a verizon wireless SLVR. I use quicktime pro so edit the songs to 40 seconds or les and then u have to export them in a .mp4 format. then u have to go into switch and set the settings to .mp3 format and set the songs/ringtone to 32kbps. thats they highest u can use.all the ringtone should be less then 600kb but i have one as 656 i think.then convert it and save it in a file or to ur desktop. then u go to ur e-mail and send it to ur phone as Ex. 1112223333@vzwpix.com then attach the .mp3 file and send it to ur phone depending on what emial u have it can take pnly 15 minutes up to 12 hours.You can not export it from iTunes as an .mp3 format u must use quicktime and export it from the as i said before. save the garageband file as a .mp4 or .mp3 if u can. ask me if u have any more questions
