I'll have to look into how to use the waveform editing tool, which I've never done (having never edited my tracks before). I just know I was surprised by the pops because when listening to the tracks/songs, say at the very beginning, the track appears to be flatline, and I can't *hear* the pop until I save the song as an MP3, so I didn't think to look at an expanded view of the tracks and check for noise. Thanks again for your help!

The pops may not be caused by a peak in the recording itself, but a hard transition from having no sound, to having sound (even if it's just background noise). Although it's weird that you don't hear that until export.
If that's the case, the simple fix is, prior to exporting, to create a volume envelope that quickly ramps up from no sound, up to normal level. Obviously, you'll want a little lead time to do this in, but you wouldn't need more than a second of time for it to be effective.
