The USB connection is only for midi and data. So you're hooked up the right way.
Have fun with your Nord Lead 4!

As maarthel said, audio is not sent over MIDI so you probably already have it set up the right way.

Isn't this largely meant for multi-timbral plugins, such FXpansion Geist plugin used as an example? Part of it of course still applies to hardware synths.

Yes it is, but I guess it will work for the Nord Lead also

Dont forget to make more then one output so you can generate more then one sound from your NL per time.
I set it up with two stereo outs into my card and then into Live.
