VST support, BEACN background change, 3rd party support and Mix Create 2?
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!

System clock
Add a clock that shows the computers time in the top left/right corner. The beacn mix (create) is the only non monitor screen I have and minimizing my game can take some time. The beacon mix (create) is always on anyways, so it would be a nice touch to enable a clock on the display (both american and military/euro time format pls).

Add a toggle-able date and time to the top most bar on the beacn.
The top bar right now only has beacn in it. This is a terrible use of real estate on the screen. I suggest the date in the top left and the time in the top right. Make it toggleble (is this a word?) in the options so those that don't want it doesn't have to. Being geniuses this shouldn't take you more then like an hour or two to implement. Thanks for a great product. Cheers Aron.

Multiple PLD Audio Outputs
Would it be possible to have the ability to assign up to 4 PLDs and be able to toggle each PLD on or off individually with one of the four knobs on the Mix/Create? Right now we can assign 2 PLDs and swap between them by pressing and holding any knob but I can't find a way to have both PLDs on without routing the output through something like voicemeeter. It would be really handy to have multiple PLD audio outputs for things like multiple headsets/speakers/vr

Expanding Knob functionality
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

Changing chanell name/label
This feature is already available on the beacn mix...but I really would like to be able to change what my channels are called....for instance, I can rename Aux 1 to what I'm using it for. Not sure why the higher end beacn product didn't get this feature on release but would very much like to see it available soon!

Add "channel" for overall computer volume
It would be useful to have a "master" volume knob/control that would allow the beacn mix device to attenuate/scale the volume for all other mix channels. This is something that the Windows volume mixer has, as well as many games and other programs. This improvement would make it easy to scale all audio up or down.

Personal Mix Volume Control on Knobs
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.

BEACN Mix/create auto save / restore
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.

Beacn studio + mix/ create
I'm watching product reviews on the studio, and having that combined with the mix would be more convenient than having to have 2 things on your desk. Currently running roland bridgecast x but I think beacn overall caters to content creators alot better. BEACN Studio Remix?

Touch Portal Control Ability
Being able to mute the mic via touch portal app would be great as well as individual channels such as game, chat etc.

Ability to add more routing table rows
Right now on the Beacn app routing table there's Personal Mix, Audience Mix, Voice Chat Mic, and VOD Track. I want to know would it be possible to add a feature where I could add my out new mixes? For example I want to make a mix that's just for recording. Where the audio for just the mic and gameplay audio will go through in that mix instead of the alerts from stream or discord and I could call it Recording Mix. Since we will doon get the ability on OBS thanks to plugins to have a new clean canvas that we could just record from. I think having the Recording Mix will help a lot.

More submixes
Would love to have 2 more submixes. Right now we have the personal mix and audience mix. I would love to have 2 more submixes for things like a mix for your Chat/Discord and a mix you can make for speakers. That way I would have more control. Right now I am using the audience mix for my chat/discord and that doesn't really work if you also stream.
