I play the track and then sing while it's playing... Makes sense?
No it doesn't. How are you playing the track? If you're trying to do both of those jobs in Audacity, you can get track doubling which will boost the track volume and can give you the overload sound damage you have.

I generally just move my face back from my mic. Problem solved.
So you're telling me I need to or do not need to overdub? I am confused.

If you have a way to solve the problem, then you're good.

I would like to know if compression does anything about it though. More knowledge is good!
