So,
I tested it with my Fireface 800
result: I have no obvious difference. I hear maybe something.. very small. neglectable in any case.
This is all down to the converters of your interface. If you don't need a lot of outputs of your virus ALWAYs go USB, since you avoid any lossy conversion. Remember that Virus is digital after all. going via analog includes two conversions.. going through usb involves no conversion.
But there is another problem
If you insert the Virus via USB and via Analog in cubase as external instrument you will have negative latency from the virus over audio.
During playback Virus comes early Output Plus Input latency, during rendering it comes only early half of that....
A solution would be to use the midiinput of the virus to control it, because you could then create a "midi device" in cubase and assign it to the virus.. cubase would then latency compensate it... unfortunately the virus disables its midiinput when the virus controll plugin is open...
Annoying... if you work at low latencies.. say bellow 256, it won't matter a lot... anyway I wrote to Access about it.. thats really annyoing.
Switching the Virus to "live" helps during playback. but during rendering it doesn't.
By the way. I put an audio click onto an audio channel, panned it fully right, and on the left channel I put the virus via analog. then I rendered or recorded it and meassured the latency with the selection tool. Astonishing: the latency varies!!!
Could you please do the same test, and check if the latency varies too? With a buffersize of 510 I have differences of up to 8ms between different notes. Meaning sometimes the Virusclick came 20ms earlier than the Audioclick and sometimes only 12ms...

So is working with the 3 usb outs alongside the 3 analogue outs a chore then? as i would think the latency from the analogues would piss me off if i had to have all 6 tracks running at the same time with the analogues not being in sync, even if it is 12-20ms? |

I run USB and analog at the same time.
Latency of the Analogs is dependent on your buffersize, the way you send them your computer and sequenzer software.
In my case the latency is NEGATIVE.. so it's no "latency" in the sense of the word.
Fortunately I can go pretty low with my latency settings from my fireface.. My experience is that bellow 15ms it doesn't matter with most sounds.

I know this isnt ideal,
but for recording your TI to Audio in real time without
a lot of hassle.
create an audio track
put the input of the audio track to main ouputs
then record on audio channel.
2 things.
remember this method records EVERYTHING from
the main outputs to the audio channel.
so if you have just the virus channel to record to audio remember and solo it.
the second thing is htis can only be done with Cubase 4`s advanced routing possibilites.
