It depends on what you're planning on doing to the music - if it's
going to be limited and compressed in post then there's probably no

Because it can be the cleanest limiting possible if you keep it shorter than
some 2 milliseconds, depending on context/type of signal(waveform).


As long as it's nopt clipping to FS on a device that's going to go make
D-As go ape in unpredictable ways and spew out god knows what.
