I hope Im posting in the right area.

I am just starting to record guitars into rme fireface 400 using Cubase SX 3 and digicheck as my meters.

I was hoping someone could explain at what level I should be recording guitars and other instruments. I will be doing all my mixing in the box, using plug-ins, etc. Using my DIGICHECK for meters I have been recording my guitars at -12dbfs peak, I have read elsewhere that is what I should be doing if I am mixing aprox 24 tracks later.

Is this seem about right? Can anyone give me a quick easy tutorial on how they set up and at what level they record?

Thanks ahead of time!
