its like loud scratchy beeping noises that i can barely stand to listen to for more than a seconf. Also if anyone knows how, i am trying to figure out how to sync a mic to native instruments the mouth

Sounds like feedback. Solution: move microphone away from speakers or if you can't do that for whatever reason get your playback going into headphones and don't monitor your recorded vocals (unless you want the jarring sensation of hearing your voice slightly delayed)

Check that you have adjusted the buffer size correctly, there is a help file built in to Ableton for this. Also, download ASIO drivers as they help with latency when monitoring and as above, don't use monitoring unless you're wearing headphones or you'll get feedback. What way are you connecting the mic? Could it be a ground loop problem? My money is on buffer settings.
