Beginner DJ Lesson the Trim Gain on a Mixer Explination on What It's For

Lesson Beginner Stage 1: Your First Setup November 2014

Contents of the video

Alright guys, this video is dedicated for the complete nutter beginner. In this video, first of all, we're listening to Kenny Hectic, a track entitled Far Away. Check out a link in the description. In this video, we're looking at DJ Mixer and what the trim does. If we have a look at this dial at the top of this channel, we have low, mid and high, sometimes known as bass, mid or treble. Above that, quite often we have what's known as the trim. Have a listen to see what happens when I turn it anti-clockwise. And now I'm going to turn it clockwise. At 7 o'clock, the trim will be off. You won't get any sound at all. As you increase the trim, you will increase the volume on that channel and that channel alone.

You'll also notice the LEDs will start to rise. The trim is the volume control designated for that channel and that channel only. Practice and enjoy, thank you.
