Mixer Trim Knob

The function of the Trim knob(also known as Pad or Attenuation) on your mixer is to control the level of the incoming signal. Set it to high and you will get horrible sounding distortion, but set it too low and your signal will be too weak to effectively record. Always start with the trim turned all the way to the left. Slowly begin turning it to the right as you begin to add signal (testing, testing 1-2-3…)
