Ah, I was talking about digital compressing (for example, within

If the source is uncompressed you need to allow headroom for the
peaks, so yes. As Arnold points out, this is always true, you need to
keep it from distoriting the loudest parts.

Of course
you'd need to lower your input
volume to give headroom for the push/pop notes.
No, the compressor will lower the volume of the push/pop notes so that you can
turn up the overall amplification afterwards.
The input should be set as high as possible without distortion on the loudest
parts of the signal.
