Do VST Instruments require actual MIDI Hardware?

Hello Everyone!
I am total newbee in digital mixing and will appreciate your patience with me. I was reading Nuendo2.0 and CubaseSX 1 manuals and they are not mentioning that actual hardware should be connected to VST host to utilize those VST's. Is there any chance to route the loop sample in to VST instrument for further manipulations within computer keyboard?

Help with what hardware I should use

I have a question about being able to record live into a PC. I need to get 3 guitar, 2 mics, and a mic'ed up drum set into my PC, or laptop.

Compressors : Software vs Hardware

So I have the Avalon 737 and I've discovered that the compressor is a little weak. I currently use the UAD powered plugins (an LA-2A on every track) and the TC Powercore. They both have some pretty amazing plugins. But I'm wondering is there really a major difference between the hard and software ? UAD has the 1176 the Fairchild and tons on other classic gear.
