sounds like your mixer is broke!! Its hard to set a mixer up correctly, best bet is to have every thing "flat", in the middle, and add a little bit where needed. You definately dont want them all maxed out

gain shouldn't be used to get extra volume.. leave it at zero, also bass,trebble,mid should also be left in the middle (or zero as it is on my mixer)
i only used the gain when one of my vinyls seemed quiter than another

stantion mixers are bloody good lad 
but yea, make sure everything is zero'd and make sure none of the tracks go into the red, as this causes distortion (its analog so you have abit of leyway to it unlike digital distortion).
as for the digital output on your cd decks, unless you have a digital mixer then you cant really make use of it during mixing, but its useful if you want to copy stuff from decks to your pc or you play directly through a digital amp etc
