Re: does Audacity have a monitor mode

The recording meter can be activated by clicking on it.

Re: Clipping in a professionally produced song?

It probably isn't distorted, unless it sounds distorted (which I assume is not the case). The current fashion for most commercial recordings is to make them as loud as possible (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war). To do this, the peaks are "limited" to 0 dB (see: http://en.wik...
