Thanks! Just discovered this when I was researching recording techniques so maybe you can answer a related trim / gain staging question? If you're recording a set with an external recorder (through the "REC OUT" RCA jacks), do you still adjust trim? If you don't then of course it'll still affect what the crowd would hear, but I guess for this assume that its not a live set and you're just trying to get the best recording. I always adjust trim like in your video, but I notice when I record the peaks of my waveform are all over the place so I wonder if its because I'm adjusting the trim or if I just have a bunch of other mistakes I need to fix lol

You sir are an exceptionally good dj! I'm both a sound engineer and a dj and deal with misunderstandings about the trim feature almost every weekend. The reason for the Trim/Gain knobs is to bring all your records to the same volume level. I would like to add that you should always aim to keep your Trim/Gain volume at 0db (full green lights but not orange). This is because the output volume of the mixer depends on the Master Volume (top right knob) and going above green reduces audio quality. So never go above green with the Trim/Gain when you still have space on the Master Volume. This will truly make your music sound a lot better.
