What's everyones tracking levels into the computer? -6dB.
I just recently read a bunch of stuff on converter performance and squashing the master buss in the computer and it seems something around -6dB would be ideal. I also saw some stuff about people no exceeding -6dB on any of the software faders (channels, subgroups, and master buss). any thoughts?

-6db what....? in reference to what...?
if you are talking about digital, (fs) then what are your converters calibrated to?
Just remember how hard you are pushing your analog gear (preamps/comps/eqs) on the input more so than how hard you are pushing your AD converters. A lot of modern converters can handle it, a lot of preamps cant, or will start to add subtle (or not so subtle) distortion.
