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
harm done by letting it clip a little during tracking. The question
is why would someone want to?


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


Well it's certainly going to be the least limiting you can get away with.
Being naturally pedantic I'd still want to look at the resulting waveform
before I'd adopt it as a normal practice for myself. I'm not going to assume
it'simple truncate even though it should be.
