Are you definitely using Audacity 2.0.6? (look in "Help > About Audacity" for the version number). Starting from - the recording is in progress - what is the exact sequence mouse/keyboard actions that you are using to save the project? (every detail is important because we can't see what y...

There is such a thing as a "brick wall limiter" (that does not clip the audio). They should really only be used to limit momentary peaks, but not surprisingly they are frequently abused. The idea of a "brick wall" limiter is that the threshold defines a level beyond which the aud...
