You could always record it as is and then bounce it to an effected 
track. In a way it leaves you more freedom right ?

It certainly won't cope for any overload prior to getting in the logic 
environment. So I'd say it's true, but you just have to get a signal 
that isn't too 'hot'

Let us know the developments !
