My microphone (C01U) is recording me as if its like on an alein effect setting like a robotic horrid noise, but its still me singing, just altered(Horribly). I've tried it on the sonarLE and audacity, but the problen won't go away. (also i spilled iced tea on my desk a few days ago, but i dont think any got on the microphone..). if you know how to fix this i would be estatic if you could tell me how.

Try this:
Control Panel > Sound Audio Device > go to Voice Tab > check your drop down list for Voice Recording and make sure you put on Samson C01U then test your hardware and see you get any pick up. I had to research on what to do.

Now my problem is why the mic is only picking up on the left side of the ear instead of the right. =/

Welcome to the world of STUDIO microphones. Super quality BUT you must have a studio to use them. You can't have any local speaker playing into them. You often use headphones lest your monitor speakers will feedback. At the high frequency capability of these mics, you can fry your amps with oscillations above what you can hear!
