Fading In and Out (Fader)
You can gradually increase the recording level at the
beginning of a recording (fade in) or gradually
decrease the recording level at the end of a recording
(fade out).
It is convenient to use this function, for example, when
the tape reaches to its end and you don’t want the track
to be cut off abruptly.
