So far I'm able to work with it pretty freely with USB but analog just sounds better to me and I'd like to be able to use on the main parts of my tracks (bass, lead, strings, etc)

So you have audio cables running from all the analog outs of Virus to inputs of the audio interface, and have mapped the busses?

You may need to enable outputs 1 and 2 using the method mitchiemasha described (its the same in Cubase 8 as it is in 5), I'm not sure because the Snow doesn't have that many outs so I cannot confirm. You definitely need to be sure each part is going to the respective out on the VC plugin.

Yes everyone says analog sounds better, and also mm is probably right that you'll never get more than 3 sounds over USB streaming, that's because Virus USB is limited to 1.1 speeds. Once you're using analog outs your limit is the audio interface to the PC, which for yours may be USB 2.0 and for me is Firewire 800 so you tend to get better results across the board (with regard to latency, stuttering, etc.). It probably will never get you close to all 16 parts with any reasonable polyphony but results should be better overall.
