Fair warning. Using -18dBFS means you're gonna have to push your analog gear to the limits if you print hot levels. You cant jsut print really low levels, but if someone sends you material that was recorded hot, then -18 is going to pin the inputs to your mixing console (if you have one). I have found that -14 (since the digi interfaces can't do -12) is a happy medium where I can print higher levels without worry about the console inputs getting slammed, or the analog chains going to the interfaces aren't being pushed too hard.
The other school of thought again, is to just print lower, but for me why waste the bits just for the sake of using a really low calibration level that was really meant for post work.
