I just did audio tracking from VST instruments using the Scope mixer internal routing and I heard some clipping from the results but I didn’t see the signal was over, I think it was only until –0.2dB.......btw is this a healthy signal?
Any idea?

Audio clipping?

If you are sure -0,2 was really the max then it should be ok.
If you hear clicks caused by hitting the 0 db barrier you must be able to see a red led somewhere in your chain.
For recording single tracks I always keep more headroom, to be sure.
When mastering I let the limiter at the end stage cut everything above -0,3 db.

when recording analog, it's important for the level to be very hot. digital, however requires that you never reach 0db. when recording digitally, use 24bit and keep the average signal between half-3/4 up the scale. that will give plenty of bit-depth resolution(a clear recording), while avoiding clipping from peaks. use a compressor in the mix to fatten and squish the signal into that happy analog recorded hot, compressed sound.
I used 32bit/96KHz recording my MIDI mix (VST Insruments) to 2 audio tracks thru the 2 mono channels (L/R) Scope STM mixer ...(I just want to listen to the rough mix in the car, so I haven't really mixed them in separate audio tracks).
What I have done is, I set the Nuendo input channel to 1 dB, set the Scope channel faders to 100 (default), & adjust the channel gains so that the signal won't hit 0dB (the toppest VU LED).
