[doggies] "As for the DVX... should I always shoot for a little bit of red.. no more than one bar of red ?"
Each dot on the graph represents 2dB. The transition from white to red happens at the changeover from -12 to -10. So one or two or three dots of red are still well under the clipping limit. One dot of red = -10, two dots = -8, three = -6, etc.
