  1. Default application volume

    any application that is not currently assigned to a knob will automatically fall under an "other" assignment that is able to then be controlled by another knob I like to have my hardware volume at a level fairly higher than the level that i normally use for my applications so then in the event that I want one louder, I can simply increase the volume for that specific application without changing my hardware volume which would then affect the volume of every other application having applications that are not assigned to a knob be controlled by an "other" assignment means that something like system sounds or a new game or any other application that I'm booting up for the first time doesn't start out at a drastically louder volume than the rest of my computer before I'm able to manually adjust the volume of that application, either through assigning it to a knob or using the windows sound mixer

  2. 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!

  3. 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

  4. 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!

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. Volume Percentages on The BEACN app

    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.

  12. Map Profiles to OBS Scenes

    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! ;-).

  13. PLEASE add ALL Beacn Studio Virtual Interfaces on PC2

    I have a lot of sound devices as part of my streaming setup, and I have differing requirements for how they get used based on what I am doing. A great example is that I have two different microphones for two very different tasks, and never want them active in the same scene at the same time because that would create a lot of unwanted audio duplication. I accomplish this in OBS right now by having these devices added discretely in the OBS scene, so that the OBS Scene I want to use will have the desired audio devices in them. Virtual devices are a great way to accomodate this, if only they were available on PC2 which is where OBS lives. I got the BEACN Studio because I thought I would get access to ALL of these devices on both PCs, instead of a separate set of devices with more limited functionality. You cannot map Game/Chat/Music/etc to a Link device to send to the 2nd PC to be used as part of OBS, so you lose some of the mixing functionality by only being able to redirect hardware. Having two microphones means I've already cut the number of available sources in half. Not being able to map the Game/Chat/Music/System/etc virtual interfaces means I am discouraged from using them on PC1, which means a lot of the functionality of the device is devalued.

  14. 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.
