Sometimes if I'm working on a ballanced mix at +4 I think the virus can't cut it (If the rest of the mix is huge) By turning up a part volume on the virus to high you can actually hear it distort! At -10 the virus has loads of power left over, so I'd say it's actually somewhere in between.
My current solution is to add a pre-amp or channel gain to the virus when working in +4.
Test all your sutdio components; mixer, convertors etc at +4 with a 0db digitally clean kik drum. I found my converters crackle a bit so this extra head room for me was going to contain distortions in transients of other instruments too.
