Ideas, Requests, and Feedback

Currently does not support any Linux platform.

VST support: You already mentioned this in the roadmap, but it would still be good if you could equip your mics with EQs etc. in your software without having to use other software. Background change from BEACN: On your website you could already see another design + white/dark mode. Wouldn't it be cool to create your own "BEACN MIX/Create" in the software... Third-party support: I'll take Elagto as an example, it would be cool if there were third-party software for developers to make the beacn even more practical, with multiple backgrounds, software integrations or plugins in general. Mix Create 2: That came to my mind spontaneously when I saw the shape of the BEACN Mix Create. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a "counterpart" to the "L" shape? ;D These are my ideas to make your good products even better!

Expand Knob functionality outside of BEACN For example being able to pause/resume media playback on knob press and skipping or going back to a previous track with knob rotation Or best solution to this all: let us make custom functionalities our self via developer options like a python library or other options Inspiration on how to do this could easily be gained from the Streamdeck

We already have the ability to control the personal mix in the UI. I would love to see the ability to control the personal mix volume on the knobs by adding the personal mix as a source in the drag-and-drop area.

It would be nice to be able to set an image as a screensaver or a wallpaper on my BEACN Mix. I love the product, and it sits next to my stream deck mini. That large screen would be fantastic to put a pokemon gif or a wallpaper on! I saw that you all added some different themes to the main screen. Good job on that as well, I love a fresh look on my setup every few days. Thanks, Doug

Would be great to be able to use this tech on the virtual devices provided by the Beacn Mix Create. Content Gamers who use this tech are likely not going to want sacrifice it's performance benefit for mixing convenience IMO.

Add a check box to the app to have the mix autosave whenever a change is made. Separate check boxes for different things to autosave would be a bonus. This way nothing is ever lost for configuration on restart and application volume is set to where it was last on system restart. Ex: Volume levels / mute Application settings Profile Etc.

Some games (Rocksmith for example) only support 48khz sample rates by default. You can force change it using a daw but it would be nice to be able to set it natively.

Actual percentage values as you adjust the sliders for each audio device in the BEACN app. As in if the slider for MUSIC is half way up as you hover the slider, the app will tell you that you're 50% for that slider.

By mapping profiles to specific OBS scenes, it would mean that switching scenes in OBS could adjust your audio levels automatically! Imagine that swapping to your "BRB" scene will mute your system sounds and mic, but still have your music playing! Or swapping to your "Game" scene in OBS has your game volume at level that's just perfect for the stream. You get the idea - easy automation for one-person streamers without needing a producer! ;-).

I been wanting to do music for a while but I cant record or sing on stream because there's a delay that ruins it all.

Just a simple button somewhere in the software to have the option to switch any of the stereo channels to output as mono to all sources.

Basically the exact same functionality and features as the Beacn Mic but with a shotgun mic to get it out of view if you wanted. This would be sick.

I have a lot of sound devices as part of my streaming setup, and I have differing requirements for how they get used based on what I am doing. A great example is that I have two different microphones for two very different tasks, and never want them active in the same scene at the same time because that would create a lot of unwanted audio duplication. I accomplish this in OBS right now by having these devices added discretely in the OBS scene, so that the OBS Scene I want to use will have the desired audio devices in them. Virtual devices are a great way to accomodate this, if only they were available on PC2 which is where OBS lives. I got the BEACN Studio because I thought I would get access to ALL of these devices on both PCs, instead of a separate set of devices with more limited functionality. You cannot map Game/Chat/Music/etc to a Link device to send to the 2nd PC to be used as part of OBS, so you lose some of the mixing functionality by only being able to redirect hardware. Having two microphones means I've already cut the number of available sources in half. Not being able to map the Game/Chat/Music/System/etc virtual interfaces means I am discouraged from using them on PC1, which means a lot of the functionality of the device is devalued.

Custom themes was something that's been repeatedly promised in forms but I've yet to see. This would be a great feature that I think many assume this device would already have. Also, and more importantly to me anyway, being able to see which output device is selected on the display would be very nice. I swap between headphones and speakers a lot, it would be nice to not have to refer to the app on PC to know which one it's going to use.
