Yes, you have to read the VU graph properly, it has a range of different parameters and a single peak level may not give you the full picture.

I usually suggest to create two or three DCPs with different audio levels. You can name them accordingly, att6 att12, att18 etc. Then try them at the cinema to find a suitable setting (and ask the cinema for their average fader setting for testing).

When creating multiple DCPs from the same source footage with only the audio settings changed, DCP-o-matic will recognize that the picture track is not changed, so it will NOT reencode the image for another 16hrs, but just copy the existing image data and recreate the audio. That goes much faster.
