I'm keen to hear if any of BEACN's products appeal to you, if so, which ones?
The beacon mix create is a great product it looks simpler than a goxlr would it be possible to use an XLR mic such as rod nt1 with this ?
Also it takes less space
Mix Create could be really useful
@@mathugg 18:16 looks like that's a yes
Mix create if any. Seems legit.
Fantastic video that went through a LOT. Excited to get my hands on the mic & Mix Create!
Great review as always! I have been eyeing the evolution of BEACN for a few months now I am blown away. That mic sounds premium.
This is the most concise and specific video on the mic I’ve seen so far and I just binged all of them. Fantastic job. I also love the sound profile you got out of it. Most others could just not get it to come close to the RE20 at all. You actually got it to the closest possible to a broadcast sound! I’m buying it based on your settings not the product itself lol
Absolutely incredible I'm definitely gonna grab these for my stream bro, thanks for all the hard work you do man you have honestly made my whole obs and streaming career so much easier, your a legend mate keep up the amazing work
I've literally never once regretted subscribing to you! Thank you so much for constantly helping us future and current content creators!
this...is a game changer?? I was super hesitant to get the GoXLR because of the price tag, but the BEACN Mix Create looks super promising. My jaw literally dropped when you showed off the feature of changing the volume while maintaining ratio
i wish i could have gotten this instead of goxlr ):
This is a very helpful review, thank you for always leading the way on helping steamers.
I'm currently watching the ad before your video and I can tell, just by the thumbnail, that your smile is genuine with this gear 👏
The EQing and processing done on the mic itself is such a great feature the amount of times my mates and i have talked about sounding good on obs but then sounding bad on discord or in games. Can definitely see that being the main selling point and reason to getting one.
As always great video and keep it up man =D
Excellent review. Just ordered the mic and the mix, neither of which I need (GoXLR and Mojave tube LDC), but Beacn deserves business for these handy products!
FML I just bought a Shure mv7 and a goxlr mini like 3 days ago. Hope I don’t regret not waiting
i just like how genuine your showcases are, easy listening and nice for checking review! +1 like
gotta love how they are making rlly good mics usb, making them more very user friendly and appeal to a broader audience.
*Quick Question:* Being a USB Broadcast Dynamic Mic - Is there any latency (meaning a true Zero Latency) to your headset. My headset is not wireless, it is a straight plugin in Hyper X Headphones. I do like to be able to hear myself slightly as it makes for a more natural speaking process, similar to talking on a phone for example. I am hesitant to buy a USB microphone for this reason, I have owned 2 in the past and can't stand not being able to hear my voice slightly in my own ears due to the headphones being slightly noise cancelling.
The latency on BEACN Mic is ~5ms. The range that is considered "true Zero Latency" is between 3ms and 5ms.
Great review video ! I love the mic with built in processing.
Hey, stupid question here, but would I be able to use any existing professional audio card and, for example, route the signal from my RME Fireface from Studio One into BEACN? That would be (just guessing here) the ultimate solution for audio professionals that are also Streamers and UA-camrs.
Really loved this, and it's one hell of a selling piece for BEACN.
As a viewer, the only thing that I was really skeptical of (and saw no evidence of) was the claim about it being difficult to clip this mic. I would've loved even just the quickest yell or any other kind of audio spike that would cause other mics to clip.
Awesome vid, as always!
Thanks for another great video!
I’m definitely interested!! Adding that to the list of equipment to consider!
All of these products look amazing. I've not got the budget given being a full-time smaller streamer and having the go-xlr + sm7b already. I'd definitely be interested in trying them if I were a newer streamer or had the disposable income!
Damn bro, you wasted that much money?
@@krakenjm6877 LOL
@@krakenjm6877 I enjoy gear. While the things I bought are not equivalent investments nor do they equal success, I am a big fan of tech and quality. For me, these things are/were worth it and are not a waste. Though I agree, most people should not buy expensive gear just because the top streamers have it. 👍
In many ways you could consider anything a waste of money depending on your person preferences :)
@@ZackKo Facts. I love new shiny toys. I tend to only pick stuff up if it's in a category I don't own something in or if something breaks, is outdated as hell for my taste, or if I want to upgrade and can sell or gift it to a friend or family member.
You definitely just wanted to show off the sm7b isn’t even good. You can even get that much better than sm57 or sm58 or 55sh
Yo man, love the videos, keep up the good shit
damn the mix create looks really great
Watching a year later and since the GoXLR stuff has stopped being updated or worked on I feel like it might be a solid idea to switch to these devices, I love my XLR microphone (Blue Blackout Spark) and I honestly don't wanna leave it, but I also have faith in the BEACN Mic as a solid choice
i would buy this Mix Create its awesome
that boiler room hoodie is fire!
The microphone sounds really impressive for a USB microphone, just ordered mine to reduce the amount of cable clutter I have and because I don’t have much space for audio interfaces!
I SO want to get this set up, but i have no more USBs on my PC... What do you recommend to solve that first? A usb hub? Or a usb card? something else?
thank you
I'm excited for this actually. I have the Elgato Wave 3 and I don't actually like using the stream deck to control all my volume. The Beacn Mix Create looks more intuitive for volume control.
the mix create is on my wish list. I use a midi controller hooked into Voicemeeter potato (with the extra virtual lines), I find it not only useful when streaming but I find it useful just in day to day of my PC usage. My current setup is functional, and on a budget it does the well job. This does the same job better in a smaller package.
I have the sm7b and the rodecaster pro and I love that combo.
7:20 wtf that is so cool
As a Goxlr and SM7B user…. These products look fantastic. The software of the mix create looks great
Hey first of all I want to give you a big thank you for your content and especially this video!
And I also wanted to ask you, if you still use the Beacn setup and if you could give us a quick update how your testing for about maybe a year has been. What would your resume be?
Greetings from Germany and keep up the good work! Cheers!
This seems really promising, I just got a goxlr mini the other day and it has served me well. This could have been a better choice but I wouldn’t be able to use my xlr mic so would have to get another interface.
Intriguing!
Damn thats impressive! If i wasnt set up with my audio, this would definitely be a buy choice!
I really need this as I havent been able to get audio working on my 2 pc setup yet.
how about sending individual audio channels to my streaming pc for a recording with separated audio channels?
Hopefully they will be in stock soon. Been sold out for a while now
they’ve got a lot of work to do. Will come back to them in the future
Thanks for the video! Why does this mic sound awful in EposVox's review and here it performs so well? I'm stuck in between buying this one or the Go XLR mini + Rode Procaster. 😕
How do you have a Rode PSA1+? I've been trying to get it since I heard about it but it's out of stock EVERYWHERE! Love the video, keep up the great work!
Definitely gonna try this out, sounds a lot better than the seiren v2 pro and hopefully the software doesn't make the razer virtual audio cables crash mid stream so I can't hear anything, sadly the mix create is sold out otherwise I would've copped that right away, got the mic tho!
Hmmm I'm using a Yeti X which, with the Logitech software in Ghub, I enjoy where it's at. Unsure if that's worth messing with but the Mix Create seems VERY interesting!! Any thoughts on Yeti vs BEACN mic? Also being able to use Yeti WITH Mix Create adds to its allure for me.
wow intelligent software. i hope this is the latest smart tech that can fix my audio this simply
Wish they were actually available though... I am considering going back to USB to get these. I started with a cheap mic, went to a Wave 3 and that was cool but had some quirks. Then I upgraded to Rode PodMic with GoXLR mini. But I really like this mic and mixer and think it would be a much simpler setup and gives me submix control which I don't have with GoXLR.
Awesome Video! Do you think it is possible to add a second Beacn Mic in the Beacn Software on a 1 PC Streaming Setup? The product sounds fantastic and quality is amazing! Would it be possible to get rid of Voicemeeter though with this software?
seems good to use 🙂
I've been looking for a good knob controller for my audio and the mic create looks like a great option. To bad they show sold out at the moment.
Do the additional audio channels create a bit of a problem in OBS? i'd be curious if you could share any information on how OBS works with the new mic and mix create
When they add VST plugins I'll consider it over my Wave XLR/Podmic setup. Both their mic and mixers seem very promising and pretty darn close to what I'm looking for. The mic is a bit high, but considering the onboard processing it seems a fair price... I'll keep my eye on this company for sure.
can you explain to me on what VST plugin are for audio hardware like the wave xlr ect what for possibilities will you get
@@milanzeeman4454 VST plugins can do everything that he showed that the mic does but WAY WAY WAY more, but its processed in the wavelink software on your PC. You can add all sorts of effects etc. VST plugins are mainly used in music production, and there are probably millions of different plugins. the Wave Link software recently added VST plugin capabilities making it so you can tweak your live audio rather than just in post production. See this. ua-cam.com/video/NFXFQWospTo/v-deo.html
@@nolanstone Okay it looks handy but when would you wanna use vst on a mix create or anythink for that matter just curious
@@nolanstone Adding VST plugins is easy. Just put a host in your chain
I just bought a hyperx solo cast midway through last year should I buy this mic and the mix? I want to get into streaming and content creation.
I need to track down which video you gave a desk tour on so I can find out which Rode mic arm you are using. I plan to get that, this mic, and the create.
Okay this looks amazing, also didn’t know the devs were part of TC Helicon
Given this comes with a USB C to C cable, I wonder if it work with phones and tablets like the MV7 does. Would you be able to test that out?
Soon to be number one rated USB mic! Poggers.
The biggest flaw (which is not that big) that i see with products like these is there is never multiple headphone support, or 0 latency mic monitoring for multiple people. Most people dont stream with two people, but for those that do like myself, we have to have either pretty jank setups, or use podcasting/studio control booth equipment.
If there was a mix create that had 2 headphone outs, 2 mic ins, 0 latency mic monitoring (so you can hear each other), and 3 sub mixes (audience, headphone 1, headphone 2) then I would snap that up in a heartbeat. That would greatly simplify multi streamer setups, allowing for guests in person to come on stream easily with their own audio mix for their headphones, or for regular duo streams like mine where I and my wife play games taking turns
I am definitely interested. But I have a BlueYeti mic so until I finish building my first PC I will use that mic until I can fit Beacon into my budget.
Wonder if you can swap mute modes on the fly so i could, say, mute my mic for Discord separate of OBS for playing, say, Among Us with friends on stream and later be able to mute my mic entirely if i need to step away from my computer for a moment.
I see you can change the modes in the BEACN software, but not having to fuss with that mid-stream would be amazing.
Thanks a lot! I’ve just installed it and encountered a weird issue on Twitch… when I talk and I have the music on, the music looks laggy and my voice is kinda muted/distorted… it looks like they conflict each other in the output 🤔 any idea?
Definitely need you to do beacn mix create vs goxlr mini
I have the goxlr plus an XLR Mic .. as soon as they support XLR mics.. they can take my money🤘🏾🤘🏾.. let me know when they do.. *subscribed*
Does anyone know if different audio channels can be separately added inside of OBS or if you can only bring in the "Audience Mix".. would be a potential work-around to add OBS audio filters to individual channels if they can still be split up
Do you know if there is any stores i can go pick up the beacn mic?
Since the BEACN Mix Create seperates audio throught the windows device preferences, does that mean you could also have one of the beacon channels as a seperate audio source in OBS? I'm looking to have music play in my streams but not on the VOD, I've tried the OBS win-cap plugin but unfortunately it skews the audio of certain games to the point where it's unbearable when I play them
I wonder will these be powerful enough to power my auduze lcd gx headphones ?
Does anyone have info on if they will release version of the software for Mac?
Currently have an Earthworks Ethos and Revelator IO24 (still in return window). Would this combination (mic & create) be comprable in quality at a fraction of the price?
I got the algato wave and the beacn mic won’t mount on it :/ it just slides right off the screw
Please explain how to use a dac amp with routing table on beacon create. I don't understand how that works. Do u just drag a drop the dac amp and in software that will be system sound?
Can I say for example make a reaction video without wearing a headphone, which means both output audio from the speaker and system audio from the computer would both be recorded, but using the Beacn Mix Create I can mute the output audio and record only my voice? Sounds impossible but I'm curious if there's any solution to this.
kinda want to buy that mic now
I think they took some inspiration from the SM 7B
do they have plans for creating/selling a product that is essentially that mic, just not that mic? i.e. a dsp i can connect any mic to that will do all the processes the mic does internally just on something you can plug any mic to? routing from audio interface to interface usually gives me too much gain/unwanted electrical feedback so pushing a signal through hardware dsp has been annoying for me
Would it be possible if you could you go into more depth about how to setup the mic or mix create for a dual pc streaming setup?? Please. (Yes I have watched the whole video)
Sadly it's sold out already. If there is another version in future like Cardioid Microphone for the same in future, it would be perfect I guess. And thanks for your detail introduction for these three new tech-toys, looking forward to grab it very soon :)
Will you be doing an update video after using for some time?
Can I add a de-clicker somehow into the chain? Without it, doesn't seem to cut it.
Anyway to do samples on this? Like you're able to on the GoXLR.
Is the Mix useful if I don't stream? I need separation for game/my mic/discord voice. I record with AMD Relive.
Relive only separates game/mic. Can I set Mix in Relive as default audio and my final video will have 3 different audio lines?
FINALLY Someone Figured out Routing like GoXLR
These people left goXlr to create this.. lol
@@NfynitePixels 🤣🤣
Can 2 of these be on the same computer for podcast purposes?
Could I use my Shure SM7B with the BEACN Mix Create? Like a XLR to 3.5 or USB cable? Just curious if that would work, I currently have the GOXLR but this BEACN Mix Create is soooo much smaller and ideal. Plus my GOXLR has some weird glitch on the screen where none of the icons are showing up and are distorted. I dislike that I have to pay to ship it in for warranty purposes on a $549.00 product.
Will it be compatible with the Mac in the near by future? I use a Mac/PC setup.
The rgb nice though.. wonder if you can still use it with the goxlr
I use it with my goXLR, easy peasy. 3.5mm out of BEACN Mic, going into the mic n on the goXLR.
Hey so if I get a beacn create do I need a program like VoiceMeeter at all? I wanna say no, asking just to make sure.
They sold out quick. I'm waiting to be notified when its available. It reminds me of the Shure SM7B. I have a highspeed laptop cooler (5000rpm) and loud fans (4500rpm) on my MSI so I think I need this.
And it even looks like a Sm7b :D
I was late to the party, and everything sold out.
Hopefully, I can get my hands on a BMC and that sexy looking mic.
Question: I know there are some devices out there that can control OBS audio inputs through a physical knob. Can this product do this? If so I have big eyes on it.
Curious about this too. My understanding is that the mix create becomes the “audio device” that connects to OBS, and then all of the individual app volume controls are done via the hardware (so muting discord and not sending that audio to OBS, but still hearing discord in your headphones yourself) I really hope this is the case. If so, I am buying it now!!!
hi
BEACN Perfected Streamer Audio...it will work with vMIX and Wire cast??? thank you
MAJOR wish: please do this with Lav mics and an 8 channel system for video live streaming where presenters need to wear a lav rather than sit at a desk mic. It would be invaluable when you consider a stand-alone 8 track live noise suppressor like the Cedar DNS8 cost in the range of £18,000!
Okay so why are you using the mic like a side address one?
It's a dynamic, you speak directly into.
Any word on when macOS support will be added?
do you have to use beacon mic in order to use the mixer?
That’s really impressive! If i weren’t set up with my audio already, this would be a must have.
Will it come to the german market?
