BEACN Mix Create Audio Mixer for PC & Mac | For Content Creators, Gaming & Podcast, PC Audio Mixer with C USB for Twitch & YouTube | Essential Streaming Accessories (Dark)

TL/DR: A powerful sound mixer that I highly recommend, even if you aren't trying to be an influencer. It offers a ton of functionality and convenience, it looks neat, and is made by a company with absolutely top tier customer service. -------------------------- I bought this even though I am NOT - and have zero desire to be - a streamer, so the "audience" settings aren't particularly useful to me. This is, however, a highly useful and constantly used part of my PC setup. I am also an old-school computer nerd with a love for tech gadgets, so this also hits hard on that front. My Beacn Mix Create allows me to easily and instantly control my PC's sound, for both system and various app volumes, using knobs, instead of Win11's annoying tray and control panel options. I tried various alternative apps, and it was still bothersome to click out of whatever I was doing, each time I wanted or needed to tweak a sound setting - especially when on the phone, and an app decided to abruptly blare at me. Sure, many of the keyboards in my ever-growing mechanical keyboard collection offer a volume/mute knob, but it's only good for the system as a whole, and I wanted something that allowed for per-app control, as well. While this wasn't the only mixer out there, they generally weren't USB, didn't have a screen, and/or lacked the same crazy amount of customization flexibility and programmable control. A bonus selling point was that this product came in white, which matches my setup. I did have an intermittent issue with my unit, months after the return/exchange date here on Amazon. I worked with Thomas at Beacn, and he was just AMAZING!!! I'll spare the tedious details, but he truly went above and beyond for me, and is just such a wonderful human being. It is increasingly rare for companies to provide even semi-decent customer service, but Beacn's is truly superlative and people-focused!!! If I could afford it, I'd buy all of their products, needed or not, just to support them. For my recliner setup, which has become my go-to as my physical disabilities have worsened, I use a mechanical keyboard on a lap desk. My Beacn Mix Create sits just above the keyboard for easy access, and I love it! I recommend the product, and the company, very highly!!!

I have never reviewed anything on Amazon but I had to review this. The software is AMAZING! I have not had any issues with it & this mixer is the best streaming I’ve made in my 5 years of streaming on twitch. I have spent a lot of money on my setup over the years but this tops everything. I wish this was around when I purchased my astro a50s with the mix amp because you DO NOT NEED IT! This mixer lets me control EVERY aspect of audio without confusing them & mixing. I’ve tried different softwares in OBS, mix amps, many different output & inputs but this truly does EVERYTHING & makes it so incredibly easy! I love that I can hear everything my audience does with just click of a button so I don’t constantly have to ask if game sound is too loud or if discord chat is too loud because trying to track using the OBS mixer is not accurate, at all! I’m thinking about getting the mic as well, even tho my hyper x mic sounds pretty damn good, I just want to try their software with the mic. This out classes the goxlr BY A LONG SHOT with the price alone!!! The negative reviews saying it doesn’t save your settings are WRONG! You have to save the settings to your audio profile when you change them! There’s a red dot next to the profile that indicates a change was made. Just like word documents put a star up at the top. This feature is AMAZING because who doesn’t make lil changes to their audio when their streaming that you don’t saved because it was to have a side conversation or to turn down the music or game audio to have a meaningful conversation. This mixer is everything I hoped for & more!!!!

Essentially this is a way control the volume of individual software with an easy to access dial setup. Specifically useful for gaming since you can have your mic, your teammates mics and the game sound on separate controls knobs. It's so nice to be able to turn up a teammates mic on the fly if their mic is too low or turn them down/mute them if you need to here your surroundings in game. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because from time to time it will go to sleep and not wake up without restarting the software. Or the software will crash once in a while which is frustrating mid-game.

This product is absolutely amazing. I use 2 computers for streaming purposes, and the Mix Create makes audio a breeze. I spent weeks scratching my head at the issue of between-PC audio, and this device fixed that in 20 minutes. A single USB-C and all my problems were fixed. (Well, and a few extra 3.5mm cables; check out the BEACN 2 PC setup guide on YouTube for details.) If you have a 2 PC stream setup, this item could make it considerably less complicated. Most streamers and creators use an XLR audio mixer of some kind. That is also simple, but setting up a Mix Create is way easier than figuring out an XLR audio setup. No phantom power, no fuss. Just magic. Very reasonably priced as well. That said, it doesn't play well with other USB microphones. When passing through USB audio to the stream PC, it seems to strip out a lot. I was told that it makes me sound like a robot. For now I am bypassing the Mix Create for mic purposes, but I ordered a BEACN mic today. I'm looking forward to seeing how their own microphone interacts with the Mix Create. This review will be updated when I have had a chance to do some testing. This company has a bright future ahead of it. I'm rarely excited about audio products, but this one is innovative and remarkably user friendly.

Ik gebruik hem nu bijna 2 weken en ben er heel blij mee. Erg handig om e audio kanalen te bedienen. Ik gebruik hem ook om gamevideos te maken. De ene mix om alles te horen en de andere voor opnames. Zit ik te game en muziek klinkt te hard dan kan ik die bijvoorbeeld lager zetten hiermee zonder uit de game te stappen. Wat ook een pluspunt is dat die het ook doet aan een usb 2.0 aansluiting. Precies wat ik nodig had aan mijn laptop.

After switching from GOXLR to Beacn product (same developers) i am very happy. I am amazed by how simple is the connection (single usb port) and i am amazed by how and what the software can do. It can do whatever you name it to be honest - setup is easy, configuration is simple and very good. Mixed channels and single use channels are easy to access and are very good thing to have on mixer.

This is the worst audio interface i have ever used its basically a digital hub .for the price?.support is useless. They basically told me not to use sound card. Use on board audio with no solution. And as for the software is horrendous if u can get it running and doesnt crash and has not been updated in months. This is what i replaced by goxlr for.def regret that decision.stay well away.

I'm quite impressed with this. Love the ability to quick toggle the main output between headphones and speakers. Setup was especially simple because once the software was installed it already knew to push common apps to the right channels/faders. Ie chrome/edge/firefox automatically switched the the browser control. If you want to move an app to another channel you can see things playing audio and drag them onto another channel in the app, its pretty easy to work. I think control of which apps go where, the routing and control of outputs is far better than the GoXLR (although note this has no XLR mic input) I had also considered the streamdeck+, that can also do things like launch apps and have media buttons. I already have a streamdeck (15key non+) and i find i need more buttons and have to setup mutiple pages so the 8 buttons on the SD+ is just too few, I also like the audio functionality better on this. For the best of both worlds id get this AND a normal streamdeck, the SD+ would make for a more affordable combo but its also a bit of a compromise.

This audio device is amazing. Even if you don't stream it's a great piece of hardware. I like that I can separate my audio channels, turn game music down but youtube audio up, vice versa. Lots of customization. Worth every penny.
