Recording something too loudly is very difficult to fix.

+1 and +1
Overdriving a digital signal is almost impossible to fix...The best compressor will not fix a recorded squarewave and even microscoping with a Pen Tool to draw away squarewaves manually would take forever and wouldnt guarantee success
For future reference, when doing a mix without headphones, check your averages and make sure they dont exceed 0db ( almost every recording utility has some type of db meter). A couple of overages are OK (certain programs even allow for this and adjust the db readings accordingly, allowing for ~ -2db then what they actually say) but stay at 0db or slightly lower
