Music to Ringtone app not quite so easy to use

using music to ringtone was said to be easy to use, but I do not agree! First off you are suppose to beable to load a song or sound from anywhere on your phone. I have not been able to do that, because when I click the load button, it goes to the apple music library. So what I had to do was go to the files app select my sound and share it to music to ringtones. From there everything seems fine until I save the sound as a Garageband file. I choose that, and clean storage pops up. Prompting me to download the Clean storage app. and i can not get any further than that.
since I clicked on share to Garageband shouldn't the Garageband app open so i can create the ringtone?
so I cannot create a ringtone easily or am I not using the app correctly

The general advice that if something sounds too good to be true it is. I love heavy metal and needed to make my own heavy metal ringtones because everything else was lame. I create ringtones on a Windows computer with JAWS. I start with an MP3 file, either created from a CD or captured from YouTube. I load it into MP3 Direct Cut and edit the file into a 30 second piece of audio. With MP3 direct Cut, I can use fade ins and fade outs. Then the 30 second clip is uploaded to an online file converter to turn it into an M4R file, which is the file format used for iPhone ringtones. The M4R is then transferred to the iPhone using iTunes.
