You should use midi to record sound from Virus into Live:
Create a midi track in Live. (remain in session view all the time). Drag the "external instrument" onto your midi track to enable external communication with your Virus. Now in the bottom of your track find the properties windows for audio in and midi. In midi choose your midi connection with Virus (i use a "usb device", thats midi to usb PC connection thing). In audio choose audio in. I assume your audio out connection from Virus goes to some sort of audio interface, so thats the one you need to locate and enable in this audio in menu.
Thats fairly easy.
Now the one thing that really puzzles me - is how you assign midi channels for your different parts in Virus. I have Virus C and cannot figure out how to make, say part a1 to be sent on channel 1 and part b1 to be sent on channel 2, etc. Im sure this must be easy, but Im stuck. Anyone please help?
