    You will have to give us a bit more to go on than just "hissing feedback". Do you mean "s" sounds are exaggerated or come through when you don't want them to?

    What type of microphone are you using?

    Default feedback issues

    hi

    the mic im using is a se1000a and it is not the "s" that is exaggerated its the problem of low humming/hissing throughout the vocal. if there is a pause in the vocals u can hear it more clearly. i hope this is enough information.

    That's not called feedback, it's called noise. Hiss and hum are classic examples of noise. Do you have any gear connected other than the mic and recorder?

    How far away from the mic are you singing? The R16 can be quite noisy when you have to turn the channel gain up to more than about 3/4 way. What positions do you have the controls set in? What do you get if you use just the mic with all the other R16 channels turned fully down?
