You need to ensure that the MIDI Inputs and Outputs are sending to the right channels. Each MIDI I/O has 16 channels.
For example if your Virus is on Output 3, you need to tell StudioOne to send to Output 3, Channel 1. Then you need to set the Virus to receive on Channel 1. (You can also set the Virus to receive on OMNI which means it will receive on all channels.)
You also need to ensure that the audio cables are properly connected. You can do this by letting the virus play the demo song and seeing if you hear any sound.

The Launcher or Session View mainly useful for working on parts while the rest of the song plays in Arrange, but you can still manage in a linear DAW, you just have to stop and loop the whole thing while you get a loop sorted. Studio One forces me to get stuff down and not mess about with loops forever. Bitwig Studio has the best of both worlds, and so is the ideal DAW structure (Arrange View with built-in loop player), but I had to make a decision based on all the other factors.
Yes!! This is the reason I never bought Ableton. I would be forever messing with loops and never arranging anything, AND all my songs would sound like they started out as loops--very repetitive. I think the linear work flow is best for me.
Even still, it is very easy to loop a section in StudioOne and then arrange it by duplicating the selected events.
foreigndude, your other devices would be connected to your router and not to your laptop so that shouldn't be causing any issues. What causes issues is the WiFi cards in some computers. I had similar issue in my desktop computer, but I was able to simply switch out the wifi card for a different brand which solved the problem. It's a bit trickier on a laptop, but to see if WiFi is causing the problem simply disable the wifi and run StudioOne like that. If it solves the issue the you've found your culprit.
When I'm not using the FX channel to send more than 1 channel to it I like to set the send level to 0, and use the fader on the FX channel to control the amount of reverb for eg.
