I get distortion when adjusting the channel gains on my mixer
My knowledge of mixers dates back to the pre-computer days of pure analogue sound so I know nothing about digital mixers.
I took a brief look at the specs and didn't understand most of them and I reckon it would take an uninitiated young person a year to become thoroughly familiar with what it can do and two years for everyone else. I feel one problem could be inadvertently leaving something, some process that had been previously used running in the background when attempting something new.
All equipment produces distortion and every component, lead and connection produces noise but quality gear is built so it is inaudible to the human ear, hopefully.
Distortion is principally caused by a poor signal to noise ratio, by poor quality or faulty equipment, by component mismatch, by overloaded audio stages or by excessive compression or clipping of the signal, either deliberately or accidentally or received interference from other equipment.
People who work a lot with audio equipment tend to instinctively know the type and cause of distortion when they hear it and can take steps to cure it or minimise it.
Some distortion is useful, the fuzz-box that made so many guitarists famous, for instance, is pure overload distortion...

Need help with mixing for kondensation microphone
For audio mixing on PA audio equipments a dynamic microphone will give almost the best results without noise or (singing) feedback from your speakers.
Condenser microphones should better performing for recording of sounds because of the higher sensitivity that they have special for it.
I am trying to play some music using my laptop and
Sometimes just plugging into a different USB port on the back of the laptop will work better than the ones on the sides. I also find using the headphone jack out to a couple RCA mixer channels is far more reliable that USB which often comes and goes. Just a thought. Beringher should have the drivers, you can download and install the universal ASIO drivers as well which can be a little tricky but works for recording - from here:

How to wire up outboard effects, poweramps to mixer. Out to sub, mains, monitors each with own poweramp, and several outboard effects, eq's, comp/lim/gate, sonic maximizer, quadraverb, crossover.
I'd need to know what mixer you have, to know if there is a [line out] connection socket and an [internal amp in] connection socket.
"each with own poweramp" I presume means the ep1500's and NOT that the speakers are active (ie containing amps)
***If any of your speakers are active, ask the question again, with more detail.***
So if all your speakers are passive, I offer the following.
I assume there is [effect send] and [effect return] on the mixer
effect send>quadraverb>effect return
mixer line out > eq > compressor > sonic maximizer > crossover
sub output of crossover> amp > sub
high output of crossover to mixer's internal amp input
mixer's speaker output > main speakers
monitor output > other side of eq (>other side of compressor if desired, but use sparingly ) > other side of sonic max if it is true stereo , otherwise skip > amp > monitors
If your mixer doesn't have an input to its internal amp, we are "back to the drawing board"
With questions like this it pays to give as much detail as possible; model and make of each component etc
I have done my best with the the info you have provided.
Don't feed amp outputs into powered speakers
