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.

- 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 metronome style, the metronome volume seek bar regulates the length of a vibration.
Frequency
Frequency is the parameter that indicates how often the metronome is ticking. Adjusting it is available for Guru version only.
- Press on the green seek bar right to "Frequency" item.
- Scroll to the left or to the right to change the value, in the range from 1 s to 10 s.
- Once you see the needed value, release the finger.
- You can listen how it sounds without exiting this tab, taping on "Metronome style" item above.
