Yup, it's the input gain or preamp gain. The terms are used interchangeably

Damned if I do
It would help if we knew exactly what console you have.
P.S. It's spelled knob. Nobe is not a word.

i just looked on the manual for that, and i see no mention of "tap trim"
trim normally is normally input gain for a specific channel

Maybe it's "Tape trim" and there's a gain for for a stereo tape in.
I have no idea, just brainstorming.
But as for you original question: what they all said about "trim"

Below each input, there are usually several rotary controls (knobs, pots). The first is typically a trim or gain control. The inputs buffer the signal from the external device and this controls the amount of amplification or attenuation needed to bring the signal to a nominal level for processing. This stage is where most noise or interference is picked up, due to the high gains involved (around +50 dB, for a microphone). Balanced inputs and connectors, such as XLR or Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) quarter-inch connectors, reduce interference problems.
