While on that subject, I remember reading a post by RecorderMan (oops... Recordman2, sorry) describing the use of VU meters by Geoff Emerick when adding the bass track to the mix.

A VU meter isn't the be all end all of level setting. It's ok to let it hit red and stay pegged if it sounds good. How is your A/D converter calibrated? Usually 0VU is equal to -15dBfs. Usually that's a good thing to aim for.
