Honestly that question just leads us into another one of those “gain staging” arguments. There are several of those recently that devolved into name calling and were ultimately closed. I suggest you just ignore the red on the rms meters. Watch your peaks, mix til it sounds good, maybe consider your overall average loudness in mastering. Target values will depend on genre among other things and generally be subjective and ultimately arbitrary.


Edit - I mean, you can change that red threshold in the meter settings. Set it wherever you want. If it bugs you, just set it really high so you never have to see it again.
