You have both options, but imo the best way is to send & recieve your audio via your audio-interface with logic's i/o plugin.
Just hook up spare outputs of your soundcard to the inputs of the virus & then go from the virus' outputs back to your soundcard & tell the i/o plugin to send & receive from those in- & outputs.
You will probably have to adjust the input settings of the virus (there are multiple input settings, these attenuate or amplify the input signal).
Not at home right now so i cannot give a step by step explanation but you can find info on this here or in the manual.
PS: if you happen to play electric guitar, try plugging that in your virus. I tried this recently (straight in, no amp or di) & the results are stupifyingly superb!

I hadn't thought of that, what a fantastic idea 
:off to try it out:

You don't have to do that, if you're not using the virus as a soundcard enable the USB input in the VC config page and you can use the sidechain input within logic to route in DAW audio into it.

I wish it was as simple as this....but for me with Cakewalk Sonar (8.5 and X1), it doesn't work....in my track output/send choice, the virus USB input just doen't appear anywhere... 
ey thanks guys..i was searching for this hint with usb input and now it works fantastic! 
the only thing im wondering..now i got a delay/latency when i hit my midi keyboard (novation remote sl) ...before / without the input i works fine... how i resolve this?
