Are the pops in both channels or just one?

[Mic D]

one spot is both, and the other is just one.

one spot is both, and the other is just one.

This should work with either software as I think the "set selection" command is the same. Usually if I have a spot in just one channel I'll zoom in on the corresponding time in the good channel, 'set selection', copy, then set the same selection on the bad channel and paste.

As for pops in both channels, I'm unsure of how to do that right now.

how about a sample.

Waves X-Crackle or X-Noise plugins should work well for this.
A method of using X-Noise would be to play about 10 seconds of regular music before the pop and using this as your noise pattern.  Then the trick is to use it in the opposite way than most people would use it.  Select the spot in the music with the pop and give it about 5 seconds of pre-roll and 5 seconds of post-roll so you can be sure to hear the difference across the pop.  !!Set change the setting in the lower right where it says "Audio" to "Difference" and then playback a preview.  It should keep the majority of the music across the popping sound but the sound of the pop should be greatly reduced if not entirely gone.  Save a preset of this noise pattern.  After you have tested it and are satisfied with the results, go back and select as close to you can as to only select the part of the waveform where the pop occurs (this should be a few milliseconds) and then apply the preset from above.
