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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Actual percentage values as you adjust the sliders for each audio device in the BEACN app. As in if the slider for MUSIC is half way up as you hover the slider, the app will tell you that you're 50% for that slider.

By mapping profiles to specific OBS scenes, it would mean that switching scenes in OBS could adjust your audio levels automatically! Imagine that swapping to your "BRB" scene will mute your system sounds and mic, but still have your music playing! Or swapping to your "Game" scene in OBS has your game volume at level that's just perfect for the stream. You get the idea - easy automation for one-person streamers without needing a producer! ;-).

We would like to request the ability to broadcast music to the VOD mix without including it in the Audience Mix. This feature would significantly enhance routing flexibility, providing streamers and professionals with the option to isolate the microphone from other audio sources in VOD recordings. This added control would be invaluable for content creation and post-production, allowing for cleaner and more precise audio management. Currently, the VOD only broadcasts when Audience Mix is enabled.

This would be useful in the context of streaming while playing a game that has in game voice chat. You would have your normal Mic Channel being sent to stream like usual and that would still be able to be muted from the app & the Mix. You would then use the 2nd Mic Channel in the game with voice chat so that you could mute only that one so people in game couldn't hear you while your chat could still hear you. Most games do have mute buttons in the game, but quite a few do not have that feature.

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.

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.
