good audio practice = DON'T PRINT HOT LEVELS INTO YOUR DAW!
this is the correct way to calibrate. you really should be calibrating -18dBFS = O VU. and you should be recording, on average -18dBFS levels into your DAW. because, yes, otherwise you are overdriving your analog gear. anaologue gear like 0VU. with 24 bit, the -18 signal is still fantastic. make up for the level later with faders or make up gain.
