What is a good dB level for audio?
For safety, no peaks should be above -6db. Most video editors agree that the overall audio level of your audio mix (all of your audio combined) should normalized between -10db to -20db. I personally level my videos around -12db with occasional peaks to -8db. The trick here is to stay away from 0db as best you can.

What’s the difference between LUFS and dB?
The LUFS meter (Loudness Unit Full Scale) measures the perceived loudness of audio material. LUFS is a newer standard for measuring loudness and is considered as the most accurate. In practical applications, LUs are equal to decibels. Amplifying audio by 2dB is the same as raising its volume by 2 Loudness Units.
How do you convert LUFS to dB?
LUFS and True Peak affect each other and therefore should be addressed simultaneously. There is a relationship between LU (loudness units) and dB (decibels) that gives an easy formula to help you hit your target levels with precision. To put it simply, 1 LU = 1 dB.
