whole lot of questions!!

to keep from spamming the forums more than i already have, i've decided to consolidate my questions in this one post.. hopefuly i can get some answers

here is an over view of my equipment
roland-td-6
firebox project
behringer 4 chanel headphone amp
cubase 4 le
some guitars

question 1
i'm using the td-6 as a midi trigger for ezdrummer inside cubase but the cymbals seem to be mapped a bit wrong anywhere i can find either a good td-6 map for cubase and ezdrummer, or a tutorial on how to map them myself. i've seen them for addictive drums, and i may move to that soon cause i hear its a bit better. but for now i'm just trying to get this to work.

question 2
i'm running seperate mixes out of the control mixer so each person can hear their own mix. but the midi instuments are not routing out to the mixer, so i can not hear them thru the headphones how do i route cubase to send the midi drums out to the mixer on their own channel?

question 3 similar to question 2my click track is going out to the control mixer but its mingled in the main output so when i try to raise the volume of the click in the drumm phones, it also raise everything else and makes it hard to hear the click track,, how do i route the cubase click to its on track so its volume can be lowered or raised in the individual mixes?

question 3 -clipping
clipping is confusing me, i thought it was just when the volume gets too loud for the software to record and distorts. but sometimes i get clipping even tho the audio i'm recording does not sound nearly as loud as cds i play on my computer so i'm sure i'm capable of much louder. in a related not how do i get my final mixes to a pro cd level of volume, if i put my tracks (mixed just below clipping on a cd with comercial songs of the same genre their over all volume will blow me away.. help please

On the mapping issue, you can either create your own in cubase or use one of the plugins you will find on this Google page.

Simply route the output of the drums audio channel to any of the 6 outputs on the firebox.

You want to keep each track recorded down around -15dB or so. Then as you add more tracks the master buss sees all the added up audio tracks and the gain rises. That will cause the clipping.
