How are you connecting the Xenyx802 to your laptop? If you simply going into the built-in mic input, using the laptop's soundcard, then that's probably crippling your signal. Someone suggested a Lexicon Alpha, which is a USB interface (which would bi-pass your soundcard's lousy input). That would be much better, but if you're recording into a laptop, try to avoid a USB interface. Firewire is faster, and more flexible. Take a look at the Alesis io14. This is one of the cheapest firewire interfaces (most sub-$300 interfaces are USB), and usually gets great reviews on the forums.
"Soundcard" now means "Interface". Xenyx? Behringer? Now that's

Xenyx? Behringer?
Now that's a company not famed for reliability or quality.
