There are numerous reasons that it's better to error on the low side rather than the high side when making a 24 bit digital recording. Clipping plug-ins is a very common problem as is running out of "balls" when using digital gear at the very top of its analog output capability. I highly recommend taking the time to experiment with levels and listening to the results so that you know precisely where the sweet spot is in your signal path.
