Stream Deck Control and/or Hotkeys
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, 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!

Run Beacn as a Windows Service
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.

Developper API
Hey, I am a developer, and I LOVE to tweak a bit on everything and everything automated, so I would like the possibility of having a beacn API that would allow you to interact with the hardware to change sound levels, change profiles automatically (by pressing on a button of the streamdeck to change scene for example, change my audio level) etc...

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

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

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.

Fix application scaling issues
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.

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.

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.

Add ability to add more hardware inputs
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.

Screensaver/Gifs
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

Control existing audio devices
The ability to control existing audio devices (virtual or physical) like the Beacn Mix. A lot of equipment streamers are using nowadays will come with its own set of virtual audio devices (Goxlr, Elgato XLR and Microhpones, Presonus Revelator, Headsets with their own mixes, etc), and it can get a bit too much. It would be really nice if the Mix Create could control existing devices like the Mix does, and/or potentially make it optional for the Mix Create to add it's own virtual devices, so you can decide if you need them or not.

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.
