Also remember, to have the best dynamics (and S/N ratio), try to watch the meters (if available) from the recording program. If you take Sound Forge, Wavelab, Samplitude, Cooledit (and the likes) this isn't a problem, they are designed for precise monitoring (but progs like Total recorder... Wavelab having the most precise recording meters of them all.
You should try to be as close to 0 dB as possible, without ever reaching it (try to have your loudest peak at -0.1 dB if possible). As the dBFS (Full Scale, this is the digital db scale) is different from analog db scales (there you can periodically go over 0). Going over 0 dB means clipping. Clipping is bad.
If you do that, the level of your recording will be the best. The loudest signals will be as loud as possible without clipping, and you don't need to amplify/normalize the recording (amplifying the signal will amplify the noise also, remember).

record out
I've got the same mixer and sound card (exitgy) Get a cord from radio shack from male RCA to 1/8" Stereo jack. Get gold connectors so you get the best sound quality going across your wire. The cable will cost about $12. Definitely use the RECORD OUT from you mixer because as someone said, it will output constant volume independant of your crossfader and master volumes. Beware though that talk over will drop your record out volume too! From your mixer make sure that your cable is plugged into the line in jack. Do NOT use the mic in because the frequency range is very limited here! Another thing to make sure of if you are doing this for the first time is that your line in is not muted. Double click on the volume in your system tray and make sure that mute is not selected on your line in! From there all you need is a program to record your line in. Make sure that it's configured to your SB Audigy and not windows inputs! I have used SoundForge 5.0 and it's an excellent prog! You can fix volume problems, put in effects, clean up chirps etc and for only $50! I haven't used many other programs, so I can't tell ya if there is anything better. It's pretty straight forward from there! Good luck.
