Using VST's/MAX4LIVE LFO on tracks

Hi,

I think I know the answer to this, but as I upgraded to Sierra without checking whether OB was supported (doh) I can’t test…

I don’t want to use OB to record individual tracks, or even the master, I want to use my sound card (which is what i’m doing at the minute, just recording the stereo master into ableton).

Is is possible to still utilise the max4live LFO’s on the rytm vst parameters, and still record this modulation the same way as I"m doing - just the L/R into sound card and recording using the sound card inputs into ableton without needing to record audio with OB?

I think this probably isn’t possible, but what about using live audio effects on rytm sounds - EQ8 for example. I know I can do this if I record via OB, but what about recording master L/R through soundcard?

Many thanks for help.
