I'd not use the "Leveller" effect for adjusting dynamics. It adds far too much distortion for normal use (though it can be useful as a distortion effect).
The best choice of limiter depends on the kind of job you're doing, but we don't know what that is.

You can probably increase your recording level so that it is a little higher than the first picture. -6 dB is just a guide - the important thing is to stay clear of 0 dB at all times during the recording. The second picture is a bit too high as a recording level (it looks like it's touching the bott...

Go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Effects"

So ime planning on bying about 8 of them and get a cheap 8 channel mixer You may not need to go as far as that. Micing up every drum is one way to record a kit, but very good results are possible with just one for the kick and one overhead. Keith Moon made some classic recordings with just three mi...

Files don't (or shouldn't) just disappear off a hard drive. If they do then the hard drive is probably broken. Unless you are finding that other files are also disappearing I doubt that is the problem, which leaves us with the question - what happened, what changed? We don't know the answer to that....
