The volume of a given track is controlled by volume information stored in a given tape window or by the Fader control at the right of the tape display. Jasmine employs a special high resolution fader technology, ProMixer to provide professional level control of each track.

When the Fader is on, the 'OFF' indicator disappears and its background turns grey. Levels for the front tape window are then controlled by the mouse (or other pointing device, such as a track pad). When the fader is on during playback, the Fader levels are stored in RAM (the mix is saved).

Type 'F' or click the control again to turn the fader off (OFF appears at the bottom of the control and the background turns white).Use the shift key to momentarily engage the Fader control.

IMPORTANT: If the tape is rolling (playing) and the fader is on, either type 'F' to turn the fader off or press the space bar to stop playback before clicking the mouse button otherwise you may be taken to another application by the Finder.

While playback is in progress the Fader level is remembered for the front tape window. To adjust the level of a different track, use the tab key to put the desired window in front then reenter the multi-track mode by pressing the "M' key.

The Mix Menu provides a means for setting levels of a selection of the tape while it is stopped (not playing).

The Set Level item of the Mix Menu will set the current fader level for the duration of the selection. The shift key is handy for this function. Hold the shift key down while moving the mouse to adjust the level. Release the shift key and choose Set Level from the Mix Menu.

The Fade item will gradually change the level from the level just before the start of the selection to the level just after the selection.

Fade In will start the track with silence then, starting at the beginning of the selection, fade up to the level just after the end of the selection.

Fade Out will start with the level just before the beginning of the selection and fade to silence by the end of the selection. The remainder of the track will be silent.

Set Level All, like Set Level, will take the current fader level and apply it to the entire tape rather than just the current selection.

Once the levels for a multi-track session are set, you can create a mixed stereo or mono AIFF file for import to other sound applications by choosing Mixdown from the File menu.
