RE: No but you can avoid it

You'll have to re-record that album but I'd pay attention to the recording level that keeps you out of the red when you do. And then start using that recording level for all your recordings. I found that wasting time reviewing or re-recording albums trying to get a max level wasn't worth it. I stick to one recording level for all my albums and use Audacity's Loudness Normalization function to get consistent playback levels. It just seemed like there wasn't much difference in the noise floor between recording at a max level and risking clipping vs recording with plenty of headroom and then normalizing.

Edit: Plenty of headroom doesn't mean recording levels set too low. As 13th Duke of Wymbourne suggests, keep the levels within a reasonable range.
