I've distortion on a few songs using a limiter

I am mastering my own album and after 2 test runs I have discovered distortion on a few songs, even though it never goes about -0.1db. I think this is because I may have gone a little bit over the top with the limiter in an attempt to get things sounding loud. I didn't realise that when the file is squared off in places (extreme limiting) it is distorted!

I'm interested in recording, but i dont have the cash to shell out for the fancy schools. a few friends of mine told me i could teach myself. alls i need are the right books.
anyone want to help me out and tell me the right books? id really apreciate it. thanks

okay...what of the common man?

here is a very legitimate question: When put in the face of the common man, without the ears, the knowledge, the music theory, the hi tech equipment. and they "feel" . I mean..."FEEL" the music...where does all the technical analysis go? What does it matter when music is a langauge of the soul? I think there is a boundary. a line where the technical trades with the essentiall...the soul.

Live Recording Ideas

Hey guys, so I am with a company that goes out with bands and records their sets to be sold once the show is over. As of right now we are using a MOTU 8 channel pre and that is it. I am looking for a few good ideas (with a limit on budget) that might be able to help boost the signal to a higher level so I dont have to worry about peaking out on my pres to get a good final product.
