routing audio/ rendering midi

When using softsynths, is it a very diffcult and frustrating task to use hardware compression,eg, or analog filters like the sherman? I was wondering because i was thinking about getting a open labs miko as a host for all VSTs, if doing this all in one computer is as easy as pie, it would save me alot of money from not buying the miko. Also when u render midi to audio, and your using good ad/da converters, do u get the sound of those converters on the softsynth afterwards.?

using hardware compression/effects is simple if you have a multi channel soundcard/interface. just assign your rendered audio track to a separate out --->through the compressor etc. --->back in to computer and record a new track with whatever processing you desire. watch your latency though.

as far as the sound of the converters, well... i'm not really sure what you are asking.

When a midi track is rendered to create an audio track, is it getting the effect of the converters, as if you were sending a hardware instrument through the converters? I dont know if that made any more sense, hah.
