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.

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!

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...

Some way to change between at least 2 profiles (ideally any number) without having to open up the app and click on it every time would be useful. Most of the other functions are built to utilize the hardware - this would be a really helpful inclusion for those that change profiles on any kind of regular basis.

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!

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

So I have a channel dedicated to music, and under the channel volume indicator I says Spotify, I think it would be cool if it also said "song name - artist" similar to discords set up with Spotify.

Produce a BEACN Link app for the Mac. We currently have a BEACN App for the Mac so being able to add the link to a mac would be helpful. I could then use my Mac Mini as my 2nd PC for streaming etc :)

The splash screen currently gets in the way when booting for an app i will have in the background 99% of the time. Im fine with audio not working in that time but those 10 seconds of splash screen are jarring

Would like the idea of when long pressing a knob, instead of defaulting every channel to the different output source; instead it would allow you to only use that one channel to a different output source. I want to be able to play my game audio through my headset but play maybe web or music through desktop speakers

With inclusion in Windows Updates, the BEACN Studio would function at a basic level as an input / output interface based on its internally saved settings, similar to its competitors and not require Admin intervention in cases where third-party drivers are restricted. The current implementation requires the installation of BEACN App to either: Install the device drivers or; Gather the unpacked drivers to use on another system that BEACN App is not needed on. Microsoft has guidance on the submission and approval process here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/dashboard/

If you added MCU, HUI and midi CC output, then you could control any DAW. Just one USB input is needed. The knobs and buttons would control each individual channel of the DAW's mixer.

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.
