Here's that same meter as a plug, but with RMS metering. I'd be comfortable recording that source signal right where it is. It peaks a little less than -10, no biggie, but the average level is right where it should be. The synth attack has a bit of a transient there.

Why we don't have RMS on the actual input meters, no idea. If I were tracking this through an analog console it would land just about there in the daw. Consider that white line the "VU needle". It's hovering right around a common semi-pro converter calibration.
