    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

    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.
