If you recorded in dual level (4 channel) mode and one pair of channels is distorted (peaks at or over 0 dB) then check the lower level pair of channels. If that is not run up to 0 dB but still distorted then the source was too loud.
I don't think you need limiter. Limiters often hide bigger issues because they flatten the loudest parts (and may not do that well, leaving the peaks distorted). It is better to see the real levels and to manually set your levels so the loudest peaks are maybe -6 dB at the highest.
It sounds like the loudest parts were too loud or were recorded too loud.
Use manual level settings. Don't let it go all the way to 0 dB.
