Record Too High Or To Low

hey, i record with a at2020 usb condenser microphone and i notice that when i record vocals(with Audacity) i am too loud to the point where it clips or am too low where i can barely hear myself.so my question is,is their a certain software that will monitor the recording to keep it from clipping and going to low in sound? Or do i have to deal with it and use EQ?thanks.

clipping?

more than 90percent of the time i use plugins to do mixes. what my question is...

say i put a limiter on a track, so the levels stay below clipping, but on the compressor that is also on the track, is clipping. does this matter? should i try to also keep my compressor under clipping level even though the main track is not clipping? thank you.
