please help with standard mixing

[temsuperstereo]

hello guys I'm very nubie by this planet audio things, I did record some works with nuendo 3 and cubase too, but the problem is:
1. can someone please allow me to know what is standard panning level for drums, guitar, and bass:??
2. is there differences between setting up project in 44,1 and 48,0?? How it's gonna work for final mixing and mastering??
3. I made my drum jobs with EZ drummer and set it's mixer to multitrack, so I did change all the midi sequences to Wav, by recording them directly inside nuendo, set the audio recording to "what u hear" And I could record in 9 tracks for :
Hi-Hat (Mono track),
Kick (Mono Track),
Snare Top (Mono Track) & Bottom (Mono Track,
Tom1 (Mono Track),
Tom2 (Mono Track),
Floor (Mono Track),
Over Head(stereo track),
And Room (Stereo Track)

I've got awsome sounds from EZdrummer in Wav tracks, please someone tell me is it the best way?? because I found no peaks, set channel level to 0.0, and is there any one could tell me how to do panning works and balancing them track by track in level??
4. is asio4all could do recording session in a laptop or pc with only a onboard soundcard??

okay that's all I really need to know at the moment, Please someone help me and please forgives me if it's just wrong place to post my question..

well Ill touch on the sound card question since i have an audigy 2 and the panning question.

for the sound card:
as for me i run a drum machine and a korg triton so they would be hooked up thru the aux 2 input, thus(lol i used the word thus) setting the record mode for aux 2. sometimes i will have to use the "what you hear" function so this will work for your senario.

as for panning.

kick=dead center
snare= as close if not dead center
hi hat=hang them off to the right
toms= pan around

as always you have to just pan around until you feel that it sounds right, but this is how i start.

i guess ill say that 44.1 is the standard for cd's the higher the rate the better the quality, but you can go with 44.1 for multitracking/mixing. maybe a higher rate for your final mixdown. all up to you and the sound your looking to achieve.

ASIO4ALL is nice because the dialog box shows me what might be interfering. Nice little tool. I also don't bother with ASIO very much - I don't need it.

My easy setup is a pcexpress card soundblaster in the laptop. I would have preferred the audigy, but was stuck with the expresscard slot. No MIDI, but it's still a good card.
