Recording at -6db question

Hi,



So I've got my songs recorded as drafts in Pro tools (no mixing no eq nothing literally just panning at most) because im a musician not a producer. I'm sending all the stems to the producer soon.



He tells me I need to record in 24bit depth and don't go past -6db. With the 24bit depth how can I check this is the case? When I press "save session copy" in PT 10HD by default the box is checked at 24 so I assume that's what the session is already in.



Secondly the -6db, how can I see where 6db is, on each fader when I click on it I can slide each track to -6db but yet I can still turn my amp up loud and make it go to red and clip. I don't get it. (noob detected) Also, how can I "lock" this at -6db so it doesn't go over? I have recently used a compressor plugin (the inbuilt one), turned attack to minimum (like the 0.010s or whatever the lowest value is, same thing for release, put thresh at -6, ratio to full and that makes a horizontal line/brickwall, I think that means it won't go over that value?



Huge noob alert, please don't slay me!
