Fade time and Fade level

Fade time is the time period in the end of breath phase, while the background sound subsides, and in the beginning of the next phase, while the sound gets louder. Fade level is the degree of this sound fade. Using of those settings let you to finish and start with the phases in a smooth way, as they inform you about the end of a phase coming.

1. Press on the green seek bar right to "Fade time" and "Fade level" item.
2. Scroll to the left or to the right to change the value, in the range from "off" to 10 s and from "off" to 100%.

• NB! If you turn off one of those parameters, the other won't work either.

Fix the sounds in 4.0 - 4.3

As it turned out, there is a sound system problem for Android versions from 4.0 to 4.3, that interfere with the normal sound output during some phases. Unfortunally, as the developer, there's nothing I can do with that, unless implementing this option.

• If you mark this checkbox, there will be no mess with the sounds, but you will hear the same sounds for "inhale" and "exhale" phases, but silence for "retain" and "sustain".

Metronome

Volume

Works the same way as for background sounds volume.

• Note that if you have have chosen the vibro phase transition style', the metronome volume seek bar regulates the length of a vibration.
