What effect does DAW level have on tracking?

if you have the track level too high during tracking it might redline yes? So does this work the opposite also? i.e. if you record it too low it will be weak or noisy. And/or does it really matter. I am confused because I remember hearing somebody say that when the DAW redlines it isn't actually clipping but letting you know that when you bounce the track it will clip.

Hardware Compression, EQ and effects question... n00b

Hi! I recently got into recording and I use a PreSonus firepod connected with Cubase in my computer. I was thinking of getting a little hardware compressor, reverb or eq and I want to know how I connect it to apply this new effect into already recorded tracks?

Thanks to help me out !
