try switching airport and bluetooth off, but a decent firewire sound card will improve matters and your overall sound.
For problems when pressing the key button try adjusting the timestretch settings in traktor
preferences > deck preferences > sound and mixer > timestretch quality

hope this helps

Check NI's forums.

Tons of people have the crackling / popping issue...myself included

I found if I turned key lock off it went away

i dont have access to my mac until august but does turing those things off really help you?

plus, will i get crackling ever with a firewire card?

1) Yes

2) Noone can answer that for sure

3) Not to be completely rude, only slightly, but why wouldn't you wait until you had your mac available before asking questions?

The fact that you can't key match worth a crap in T3 is the reason (well, one of the reasons) I stilluse T2.5.3.
