Default Wiring up my sound gear

Hi,
New to this forum having just purchased a Virus TI the other day. I've been a Reason user for years but decided I wanted some hardware. I have to say the Virus sounds great compared to Reason but having the control and big keyboard in front is awesome!!

Anyhow so since I'm only used to Reason, I'm not familiar with wiring and now I need to wire everything up into Cubase. I was going to do the following and hoping somebody can let me know if this is right / wrong?

1. Connect Virus via midi through my MAudio sound card. This will allow it to receive midi signals through Cubase as I've noticed it cannot through usb.
2. Enable usb for the VST control and loading patches.
3. Connect outputs (not sure which ones yet) to my mixer.
4. Connect my pc output from MAudio to different channel on the mixer.
5. Mic to 3rd channel on mixer.
6. Amp and speakers into mixer.
7. I presume something from the mixer needs to go back into the sound card for recording i.e. mic?
8. Finally i'd like to plug my guitar into the Virus and use the onboard affects however guitar is a mono cable and Virus has 2 input jacks for this meaning the guitar only comes through one side. What do I need to sort this?

Thanks
Reno
