VST+MIDI Control - is it possible?

[TweakHead]

don't route it through audio, then... seems pretty straight forward... unless you think there's real value on your soundcard's pre amps or something you can't afford to do without for some patches - if that is the case, then you can only bounce it down and either have some latency compensation feature on your daw, that would place the audio track on time, after recording, or adjust by hand... I think the problem here is you need to compromise... but I have a hard time imagining why you can't do without using the audio outputs if everything's sounding great through the usb connection man... just run with it...

other option would be, to make your patch and when satisfied, connect the virus as an external instrument through midi - like you'd have to do if you're using the virus C - make it play the midi and record the audio, I bet latency is better doing that, I mean I'm running such setup here (virus C through midi) and latency is hardly a issue, only when I'm running plenty (and I mean plenty) of tracks on a project...

Hope this helps, let us know
