Ideas, Requests, and Feedback

The ability to control profiles and other elements from the Stream Deck or at least through hotkeys would be very helpful. I have different stream layouts that I trigger using multi-step commands on my Stream Deck, which include BEACN profiles. Right now, I have to remember to make the profile switches in the BEACN software manually.

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!

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.

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

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.

I love my Mic and since the release day i don't want to go back to SM7B because of the comfort of 'all in one' and LED strip. But I would love to see a more premium version of the Mic. Better capsule — would love to see this mic in podcasts. More reliable USB-C port — my mic disconnects and instanlty reconnects when i barely touch the cable. Even more features — better Noise Supression, maybe Echo Cancellation, onboard VST support(?). More Mic colors and improved LED strip? Probably, it is not very profitable economically, but hey, it's just an idea! :)

Running a Windows Service would allow for the Mix/Mix Create to continue functioning even if the application isn't running. Additionally Windows services can be configured to automatically restart themselves if they fail for some reason, unlike the Beacn application.

In my opinion the sidebar takes up way to much useful space inside of the Beacn App. A way to compress it to a smaller formfactor or completely woud be amazing and give you room to see even more sources at once. Most people probably use 1 - 3 profiles anyways. I personally need just one and the basically full unused space kind of feels wasted. :) I created an example on how that could look. Of course this is by no means a professional Interface design, but i thought a visual concept could help!

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!

Having the ability to route sound to other speakers/lines/devices on a PC via the routing table would be very useful.

Currently when you resize the desktop application the text quickly becomes unreadable. Using scrollbars or resizing non-text elements first would result in a much cleaner and more usable UI.

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 great to be able to create/add hardware devices to the mixer software. Currently you can only add one and being able to add a few more would be very useful for people who have other sound hardware/inputs on their PC they would like to include in the mix.

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.

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
