Really love to hear your opinions on this one. Please share below for a cookie.
I really want it but don’t want to spend the money lol. Seems really convenient and audio levels is something I’ve been struggling with for awhile, so this would be a great convenience for me and I am legitimately considering buying it.
I don't really have an opinion because I have never owned anything remotely close to this. But I do have a question and forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how does this or anything related to this work with consoles or more specifically xbox? If it is compatible would I be able to have a push to talk feature where I can mute my game voice (where I am talking to my buddies) and talk to my chat exclusively or is that not possible at all? Remember I am not asking just about the Beacn products but about a broad range of mixers.
it looks cool. Snickerdoodle please and thank you.
I just bought the Wave 3 elgato yesterday after many thoughts during last year and you came up with those videos about beacn today!!!! are you kidding me!!! ;) hahahaha I stil love my wave 3 after 24 hours but wants to change it right now for Beacn setup!!
How does this differ from pc panel pro and and voicemetter working together, would it be a good addition to that or extra wasted money.
This is easily the best review you've ever made. Good stuff dude.
Couldn’t agree more
Hey epos what do you think about using this in tandem with something like the Wave XLR??
I’d like a link to buy this please….
@@TheraPewtics good luck finding one
@@stevenpotts24 yeah they haven't been in stock at all....
Dude I absolutely did not expect an intro that much sick! Bro that's just amazing, keep it up!
This came out exactly when I needed it! Spent some much time setting up virtual mixers… but this thing does it all and it has actual knobs! Amazing. Can only imagine infinite use cases when doing some music streams with Instruments.
As a barely affiliated Twitch streamer, this video talked me into purchasing the BEACN Mix to up my production level at an affordable cost. Looking forward to adding it to my production. Thank you for an informative and entertaining video as always!
Picked up a Beacn Mic based on your review and it came in today! Already loving it and now I'm waiting on the Mix Create to get back in stock. Thanks for the great videos bro! Keep it up!
Thank you, BEACN, for acknowledging those of us who just want to plug and play and don't care about optimisation fiddling
indeed
This is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm glad I watched your Razer Audio Mixer video, which lead me here when you mentioned the Beacn mix. I think I'll be quite happy with this purchase. Thanks!
I asked for the review on your last video, and I cannot believe that we finally get it, so good, love to see the content!
The intro was fire! Your team is doing some great work.
I have been waiting for them to pop right back up, about darn time, you love to see it.
These look amazing. Having a separate device for control without having to upend a current sound sound setup to use it is a huge convenience.
Great Video Harris. Your explanation of how this works makes me think it might be perfect for my streaming/recording setup. Now I've just got to wait for the Dark version of the create to get back in stock...
Voicemeeter Potato license = $10
Audio Cable A+B license and C+D license, for full routing options= $5 + $5 = $10
Korg nanoKontrol 2 (or any other MIDI controller) = $20 - $60
TOTAL = $40 - $80
And there you go. A better, cheaper and more powerful solution (only downside is you won't get a screen to see info on the midi controller)
Looks really interesting, though I would've preferred if they had an option for these that would include XLR I/O so that those with already existing XLR microphone owners don't have to have several devices connected to the PC.
Beacn definitely looks to be a company to look out for, as I would be really surprised if they aren't going to produce accessories for XLR-owners as well in the future.
Good video, really informative, and I'm really looking forward for the tutorials! I hope you will show possible ways to use these with XLR microphones as well. :)
That looks like an amazing product!
I have a blue yeti USB and never took the step of the go xlr because of the xlr issue.
I didn't wanted to change my whole audio set up for that. This is really the best option to stay with an USB set up.
And if one day I change my mic for and xlr one. I can buy an external audio board that I plug to my PC and voilà.
I'm really glad that this product exist :D
This is exactly what I was looking for. Def looking forward to your tutorials on this and the mic.
This is actually perfect! I have a USB mic and tbh the goxlr is too expensive for me to afford. I have been struggling with my audio for 2 years now & it seems to be a solution to my problem. Great review! Thanks!
Really sleek and awesome devices, including the new mic as well. I'm new to the XLR gang and if I would have known about these sooner I more than likely would have went with these really cool products instead. if a XLR option comes out, which I don't really see, but if they did, I would totally pick it up. Nice videos btw keep it up 👌
This product is really cool but i cant justify having another interface on my desk....i hope they come out with a version that can do XLR. I'd jump on that in a heart beat.
Dude this is one the best reviews you've ever done. Level up.
The Mix Create is beautiful. It has all of the features I wanted in a hardware mixing device. I especially love it's compact form factor with the ability to switch between channels and keep the ones that matter locked in place!
As I was watching this video I kept thinking to myself "It's probably just like all the other hardware mixers with a twist niche" "It needs to be able to be compact and let me control all of my channels without me having to jump into the software to change it up" then come to find out IT DOES EXACTLY THAT!
I'm absolutely going to keep an eye on these guys.
Harris always getting me to completely change my setup with all this new stuff
I'm so pumped that this keeps studio monitors in mind. That was the main reason I never went with a goXLR. I didn't want 2 interfaces on my desk, but I still wanted a routing table. This solves that problem pretty swiftly.
Sick intro! Love those products.... soooooo interested in getting them.
Finally! You’ve been talking about this for awhile I’m excited to hear more about it
Waiting for mine to mix create to come in this morning. Tried tons of programs and this looks like a nice plug and play hardware/software fix.
In both this and the mic video I couldn't close my mouth. This seems incredulously groundbreaking. I will definitely be picking these up ASAP!
Great intro, great coverage of this product
Wow this actually works very similar to my set up currently. I’ve taken my Akai MPK Mini Mk3 Midi Controller and turned it into an audio controller and stream deck mixed into one. Something like this would simplify that a lot.
Nice intro..this is definitely something to look into..it seems very useful..thanks for all the info do more on these..
That intro is incredible!!
Been waiting for this. Got mine ordered for the review, but I'm hoping you've got good things to say.
This is interesting. After working with the Wave Link, I was wondering if/when they’d release a physical interface to control your different inputs. This is what I imagined, this software is way more in depth.
I’m pleased with the wave:3 and wave link software but my environment is loud, my pc is loud and controlling the gate often causes weird sound issues when using a condenser mic. Might worth checking these things out. It’ll be costly but I like the idea of being able to control all the audio in one interface, instead of using Microsoft’s sound settings and wave link software together.
damn, i have to admit im kinda impressed!! being a used of the goxlr for now almost 2 years, i would definitly buy that if that supported xlr mics
Amazing review, thank you 🤘
You tell me to check out the other video and the same on that one and now I’m stuck in an endless loop of two videos!
im glad you did a review on this because i came across it and didnt wanna risk my money on it since its so new.
Yoo the intro is gold bro
dude, if you made those opening shots and animations, keep it up for all future product reviews. it looks so fucking good
I love the simplicity of this. My only issue is I have a RODE podcaster because I do dual voice over recordings on 2 XLR mics and need to be able to separate out the mic audio. I'm not sure this works with that. This is a step in the right direction for most though.
Yeah that's right where I'm at too. I have a Yamaha mixer when I have a guest on my other channel to record videos. I use Telefunken's M82's bc I have a connect there, 2 mics for the price of 1.
Well, as a pro audio engineer... seeing how advanced the device is on the functions demonstrated here, I don't see why it wouldn't understand that your audio interface (whatever it may be) is sending multiple outputs, and why this device would not be able to recognize those multiple outputs... for instance, in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), any interface that output multiple channels through USB have all the different output assignable to a different channel. This is a basic feature of any DAW, even Audacity has it... so... I don't think your concern apply here. I'm about 99% sure it will pick up all different outputs from an interface. Also, there is almost never any need to have your guest's voice higher or lower than yours - you set it up with the gain for different people need different signal/noise ration since some speak louder than others, but once that's done, logically, there isn't really any reason to have anyone's voice louder than the other. So in a way, having a knob for the stereo out of your interface is, in my professional opinion, actually much more practical than only two separate knobs, since you don't really have to do a balance between you and your guest... I mean if you or your voice be significantly louder or quieter than your guest's that would be really really weird anyway, right? And besides, if you really need to adjust it on the fly without touching the gain because your guest is suddenly shouting or something, it's like 99.9% sure you can do this with this device :)
Couldn't you just use two Scarlett Solos and route them into this like any USB mic?
@@baz4k that's exactly what I was thinking if ever...
@@baz4k But that is expensive when a 2-ch is more cheap than get 2, most cost is the DAC and ADC, the preamp circuit is cheap.I have the same problem on the VoiceMeeter. even having 2 interface (fast-track an u-phoria), that give latency problems because the ASIO just take one, but at least you can use the ASIO Insert from VoiceMeeter to put Minihost Modular to load the VST FX there and use a MIDI controller, then you can separate all the chanels there or mix them.
This seems exactly like the product I need .
I produce music and have a high end audio interface.
I also like to stream and intend to stream more.
This bridges the gap , being able to control all audio with physical knobs and buttons whilst still using my current audio interface
This is a game changer for those that have dedicated dac/amp setups. I'm looking forward to getting this to supplement my m-audio 2x2m mice setup, and finally use a separate DAC. Instead of running the output of the audio interface into my headphone amp.
Been waiting to hear opinions on these for a while now. I'm pretty happy with what I have seen and heard so far. Now I just need to wait for stock to be available haha.
This is a game changer. Friggin love this and I want one.
That intro was SICK!!
been waiting for this :)
NICE PLUG! :) If I didn't already have a GOXLR and an extreme love for my XLR mic, I'd totally invest in one of these.
This is game changing. Basically what I hear is this is voicemeter plus the one part of the go xlr I wanted
I really wish I could figure out a way to mix this into my setup. Right now I've got a 3 PC setup (dedi Gaming, dedi VR, Streaming) and the audio all mixed together on an analog mixer. I would love the routing control this gives, but for this to work I would need to find an audio interface that can take all the inputs and get them into the streaming PC as properly separated channels, and only at that point could I integrate in the Beacn. Having that dynamic audio routing would be heaven tho.
OKAY. WHO THE HELL DID THAT INTRO. THAT WAS STRAIGHT HEAT 😍
My honest impression is that I need more than this. Yes, the GoXLR desperately needs a refresh, but this isn't it for me. The audio processing being handled directly on the GoXLR is huge imo, I just wish it had VST support. If BEACN makes a more expensive version of this that adds the XLR input and onboard audio processing, I'm all in.
you can always buy this product and still use the goxlr you can combine them
Honestly for me the lack of it is what makes it so compelling. I have a GoXLR and it's great, but what I miss compared to my old Voicemeeter setup is enough dials/audio software devices. This let's me keep the already amazing GoXLR and just expand it with an equally high quality and nice looking hardware controller.
I think if you add a decent audio interface to the BEACN devices then you have an improved goxlr. But BEACN missed an opportunity to do this by not also releasing an audio interface. Along with these control interfaces. Even a 2 channel interface would have been enough for most people. Instead they released another USB mic no one wants or needs.
yeah, well you can workaround with VST support with Equalizer APO, dunno if they plan to add VST support but i get you, out-of-the box would be nice
@@EthosAtheos i think youre completely wrong here. Usually items such as these arent meant for hardcore enthusiasts. Its more for your average gamer/streamer and the same goes for the USB mic. People dont want to have to buy an interface with an XLR mic etc. so with this you get a small interface on your desk that you dont have to tab out of your stream or game for and a mic that sounds awesome and is just plugnplay. I dont think youre understanding the audience this would be aimed at.
This looks awesome - I have a PCPanel Mini now - and my main gripe there is the lack of customizable labels for the four channels. I constantly forget which one I have assigned to Discord vs. COD vs. devices.
That Intro was gah dawg on point boi
I would love to see the option to push the knob to mute to all. While the button is mute to chat. Or vice versa. That way you have both options available to you instead of one or the other. Super stoked to get one!
Edits going crazy!
looks simple, clean and nice. great concept I love it. might have to pick up the mic and one of these two devices.. been wanting to stream for a while but my PC got hit in a power outage/ surge and my encoder on my GPU is fried. picking up a 3060 or something soon though
As someone who bought a bunch of USB devices to start streaming and making videos (including a capture card for my ps5), this appeals to me immensely since I'd at least need a new mic if I got a go XLR
Well, good thing i was holding off on getting a goxlr! This looks really good!
Nice! I was just looking at the prices of the GoXLR because I want to get rid of VoiceMeeter and the GoXLR is just too much $$$. The mini doesn't have enough channels, although I guess I could somehow get around that.
But this looks perfect. This will work great with USB wireless Headphones too. Simple plug and play stuff and all connected with one USB type C cable.
Did you guys make that intro omgggggg that looks like an add, like an ad that the company spent weeks making holyyyy cleannnnn
I've been looking for audio upgrades and I honestly might have just found it. Defintely going to checkout their mic also.
This looks amazing! As a gear head I want faders instead of knobs but that might just be me.
That intro was super satisfying to watch
Just ordered the Mix. I currently have a PCPanel Mini which looks like a toy compared to these. Much different price points I know but even at a $100 premium I have no problem at all paying for the upgraded everything these offer in comparison. My biggest gripe with the PCPanel Mini was something so stupidly simple but very important nonetheless and it was the lack of mute indicator on the module itself to let you know when your mic was hot or not. The Mix has exactly that and so much more. Can't wait for it to be delivered in a few days.
I have been waiting for a device like the mix for soo fucking long!!!
Very nice. I have a question though . Lets say you had two audio sources, could you route one to your speakers and the other to your headphones and have them playing at the same time?
Also , could you make a video discussing which simple/affordable XLR interfaces work well with this device? I already bought a XLR mic and was saving up for an interface but if I buy the BEACN Mix Create then there's no point in spending a lot of money on an expensive interface with a lot of features since the BEACN Mix Create already has a lot of these features. Do I just buy a cheap Neewer xlr interface for example? Is there a XLR interface with higher end components that makes your mic sound better and not have any extra features built in? Just trying to save some money and not waste it when it's not necessary.
Looks really good however I have a question. Does the Mix create have a noise gate or equalizer of some sort? Just curious if it has any mic settings.
One feature I'm looking for: output to two places (speaker and headphones) at the same time AND a feature that mutes the speakers when the mic is turned on either through push to speak or through turning up the mic volume from mute
Great video bro
Re: BEACN Mix: Take the Windows "App volume and device preferences" dialog and move it to some knobs that sit on your desk. I'd like this! In fact, I was one of the "70 to 80% of GoXLR users" who didn't take advantage of all it could do (or have the need to ... which is why I sold it.) I'm part of the target consumer group here. $150, though? I'd have a hard time justifying that purchase, at least while there are other things to throw disposable income at that would add more value/function.
I have a PC Panel... you should check that out. It might be what you need and its fairly cheap. However, communication on their end is a little bad? I was lucky enough to get mine apparently. But take a look at it.
That intro was phenomenal
Actually this sounds great for music streamers that might already be using a high end USB interface with all their I/O but just want something to control their most critical sources with physical faders.
Absolutely I think i’m gonna pull the trigger on this
I love this product. I will get one if I can. Big brains made this awesome concept. It's just what we need
That intro was EPIC!
You convinced me when i have saved up enough money i will buy this
I've been holding myself back from buying a go xlr simply because they are too expensive and I own a USB mic. Watching this video makes me want to invest and get this product as its got everything going for it that I want. One question, will this mixer take the processing power to itself or depend on the PC resources to process the power?
Alreayd have a GoXlr and SM7B… BUT I was thinking of getting the Sen 800s’s.. So I could run a whole new dac straight to my pc and just use this 👀 hm….
Those are some nice Yamaha studio monitors you got. I have the same set for my DJ set up
Veruy though look. I'm excited to see it in action. Off to the BEACN Mic review!
really cool, Im wonder what they come up with in the future :)
been waiting months for this product to release. Glad to see its a fair price, will definitely save for it. hopefully an XLR version comes out
it amazes me it has taken this long for this, so many of us wanted a mixer like control for multi source audio straight from pc for years. I tried working out a solution at my local music shop recently and nothing fit.
Fantastic review, I have a pretty important question before I can purchase one though,
Does the BEACN Mix Create have any sort of 'live listen' functionality? I know I'm not alone when I say as a broadcaster I rely on being able to hear my voice back while streaming- but with no IO, I'm concerned that that's not a thing here.
The audio in this video resonates with the heating vent in my bedroom. It makes it sound like there’s something blowing through the vent whenever the video is playing.
This new gizmo is so awesome!! Will buy.
I need the Beacn Mix in my life!
That intro was insane wtf
Sick intro! Really curious to see how these work if you DO already own a GoXLR+SM7B...but also wondering how it interfaces with console capture. On PS4 I was able to configure my audio setup so I could use my PC mic for party chat, but lost this ability when PS5 dropped optical audio. THATS the solution I need.
i think that astro sells an adapter that gives you an optical output when you plug it in via hdmi. not 100% sure but definitely worth looking in to
@@thee_myrrh yehhh. I think it was limited to 60hz throughput or something though. Last year there weren’t any 4K/120+HDR passthrough options that I found
@@EPiQ_cR can't you just use the optical out on your monitor?
@@greybeard4034 I THINK that would work, but then I’d also have to route audio BACK to the TV as well.
Initially I had a console on my desk for video capture and being able to route my mic audio BACK into it. For display it hooked up to a second input on my monitor.
I can replicate the video capture, and PROBABLY the audio input, I just can’t do it with maximized capabilities.
@@EPiQ_cR Did you look into using a DAC on the USB for audio? For example I'm reading a lot of people using the creative sound blasterx g6
Friggin' sweet intro!
This thing is amazing 😮
Actually really like it, and thinking buying it
Incredible product! As a music producer that live streams, I would love to see the Mix Create used in context with an Audio Interface (I.e. Apollo Twin) :)
Same here! It truly seems like the traditional audio interface is shifting in a new direction and I’m here for it. Anything to make streaming music production/live recording cohesive without a bunch of cables.
Great video!
I feel like a cool opportunity they could of had is to have an optional accessory, where it connects the same way you dock a switch controller, and all it does is unlocks a stream deck type feature so u have 2 lcd displays or a set of buttons that just connects to the other dock and runs of the 1 cable.
Like the intro and good review. Backgroundsound/music really felt wierd . Took over a bit.
IMO the more basic Beacn Mix loses alot of value against using something like a Korg Nanokontrol2, which can control 8 sources via faders and 8 sources via knobs for 16 total, (or any other sub-$100 midi controller with faders and knobs) with the Midi-Mixer software. The screen on it is pretty cool tho, but midi-mixer is nice because if you make any knob or fader adjustment it just shows you in the corner of the screen what you are controlling. Would be cool to see you do videos on more budget oriented stream control devices, Harris! Either way, sick intro. Great work.
i was about to spend a ton of money on an clr mic and go xlr , guess i am keeping my hyperx now ! thanks !
I didn't find this to be all that mind blowing, but I really appreciate the info. The GoXLR is great for what I'm doing, and I actually use the routing table through my Stream Deck to determine if I want people in game to hear my guitar or if it's just for the stream. Very cool! Thanks again boss, keep em comin.
Almost first just want to thank you. You took my audio from 0-100 real quick
