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!

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!

BEACN LINK App Mac support
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 :)

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.

Custom themes and display which output device is selected.
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.

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.

Voice Changing Effects(Autotune, reverb, etc)
If you could make it so that for the BEACN Mix Create, you could create voice changer options like autotune, alien voice, reverb, announcer, walkitalkie, stuff like this and make them assignable to a button on the Mix Create, that would be incredible. I love to mess with my chat on twitch or my friends in game and it adds to the atmosphere and humor. It would be really cool if I could just assign the voice changers to their on button on the mix create. I would love it if these were features from BEACN not a company like "Voicemod" as i dont need a million different voice changing options but either a few standard options with more to be added over time. This would be an incredible piece for the software and the BEACN Mix Create.

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.

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

Being able to sing without a delay
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.

An audio controller like BEACN Mix Create, but with faders instead of knobs
While BEACN Mix create is an awesome product, for the ultimate audio control it'd be great to have the controller with faders instead of knobs (or if we include knobs, let it be knobs as an addition to the faders, not the other way around). Volume faders are way more intuitive for people coming from an audio background and the ones who use other audio hardware.

Show the Active Profile on the Mix Screen
I have multiple profiles for my beacn mix create. (gaming, DJ'ing, Streaming game 1, streaming game 2, etc.) I would love to know which one is active.

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).
