Actually, I'm pretty sure we're in different worlds, noob that I am. I
refer to headroom given in the original recording so that the pull/pop
parts don't peak. I'm pretty sure you're referring to digital headroom
somehow, which I don't understand.

Ah, I was talking about digital compressing (for example, within
ardour). Wouldn't headroom be needed for that?
You mean more then the (almost) infinite headroom of double precision numbers
(used inside jack an ardour)? - No, not really... 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. And compression _reduces_ the volume. Only after the
compression you raise the
level of the over-all reduced sound again and get a decreased dynamic range.
