PERFECT Stream Audio 𝘈𝘴 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘈𝘴 𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 - The BEACN Mix/Mix Create

[@Senpai]

Are there any questions you still have that I should talk about during my next live stream?

[@Mpathic]

This cannot be a GOXLR replacement because it doesnt have the voice sampler or mixer functions. This device is ment to replace the GOXLR "Mini"

[@aestrada0218]

are you able to still use a dac and amp with the beach mix?

[@heoruwulf2439]

is there a way to use two mics with it? I use a desk mic for streaming and when I am at my pc but when I am just in discord I use my wireless headset mic so I can still chat with friends. is there an easy way to switch between the two using this?

[@YHK_YT]

Does it have a streamdeck integration

[@hoppinborderz8873]

Does it EQ and compression 🤔

[@MegaNOObxX]

Yeah I'm going to buy the mix create because of you. I already have an audio interface for my XLR mic so I didn't want something big and bulky like a go-xlr plus they are really expensive. This is perfect, super compact and has all the features I would need and use. Thanks Harris and keep up the good work!

[@roninstormYT]

dude buy the beacn studio it uses a xlr interface man get rid of your old one .

[@mistercharlo]

After 1 year it got a lot better! Just bought one and many things are just better now. The setup can be made automatically in one click, all apps goes into the right category by default, we have new color themes for the Mix Create, a separate knob function, and probably missing more since I just have it for 2 days. It's a must buy for content creation.

[@fancyhandlegoeshere]

I just got my Mix Create and I would have been lost without this. BEACN's documentation is literally non-existent except for a "Getting Started" page on their site. Thank you for this. Awesome job!!

[@DJSkandalous]

That new intro animation though 🔥

[@PHLYogi]

fiverr video paid off lol

[@Zioidk]

this is a year old, but if anyone (like me) has a need for outputting multiple audio channels simultaneously, this is a perfect addition to my setup! with this mixer I can not only go from outputting audio in realtime to 2 channels to 4! effectively I can use my main headphones (plugged into my dac), my speaker (plugged into my motherboard), my wireless headphones (plugged in via aux on the goxlr) AND output via line out to a streaming pc, all while being able to have all of it playing in sync, controlled by my stream deck (to an extent). additionally it allows for any goxlr/mini user to utilize a fader for each of the 8 channels available with the goxlr software, WITHOUT having to buy a second goxlr product OR deal with latency over a second device AND gain a second routing table!!

[@garrisoncollier]

i like your idea that’s smart with the audience mix

[@PowerL1N3]

Not trying to throw shade at alpha gaming, just giving my own opinion here. So, I feel for how I handle things NOW, I would hate running devices such as these for working on my Audio. I love the educational process, I love the researching process, I love the mixing process, I love my devices hooked into my Tascam model 12 Audio mixer and my Audio mixer connected to my MOTU M2 Audio interface, and my Audio interface into my PC. I love these things, where the average user just trying to stream doesn’t.

[@dakrisis]

I accept your invitation to engagement and say "yeah, that's a great suggestion about unlocking faders when listening to the audience mix, but there should be a toggle in the settings for it". Still not convinced about your explanation regarding monitoring the mic in the headphones or creating side tone. But then again, seeing this thing in action I'm afraid it's going to be a banger.

[@dakrisis]

@@AndyTolly123 The BEACN Mic is a dynamic USB microphone, but it has an analog 3.5mm output. If the software allows you to send a monitoring signal directly out and you can combine this signal (without going through the computer) with the signal coming from your computer, then it's possible. The conversion from analog to digital and vice versa is the true cause of most monitoring lag. Many USB microphones have a 3.5mm output which is primarily there to provide a direct signal out for monitoring. You could use a passive mixer to combine this analog signal with the output of your PC.

[@daunted232]

Thanks

[@TheVolgun]

This would be a straight upgrade for me if it had an XLR port and a sampler ... It's still awesome but I'd miss too much of my current setup if I changed.

[@createdbyeric]

Coming from a SM7B and XLR, I promise you wont. The BEACN Mic sounds just as good as the SM7B and I just use the stream deck for sampling stuff. Couldn't be happier to get the giant GOXLR off my desk.

[@DviLGamesTV]

Totally agree with you. I have no reason to change to this setup, I am currently rocking GoXLR+BP40 mic. If in the future they make an XLR version, I am all in.

[@kry3634]

I love your SCP videos!!

[@abdullahtayeh8900]

big fan Volgun (:

[@hewster1]

@@createdbyeric Same. I sold my SM7B and GoXLR and profited $280. The BEACN sounds damn near identical for me and I got the bulky GoXLR off my desk. My only real complaint is the length of time it takes for the beacn software to load.

[@jeffreyboyle1790]

Thank you for the extremely helpful video. I had no clue how totweak my sound on my stream to improve anytrhing before watching your video. Now I've bought a Beacn Mix Create and followed your step and now I'm extremely happy with the end product. Keep up the good work dude!

[@MadJackVideos]

These are things I looked for years ago! It's nice to see this tech finally appearing :)

[@soulchyld]

top tier content! this should be at a million views by now

[@itzHaze]

i like harris's corner looks cosy

[@ThinkTheory]

I honestly love the way the beacn mix looks. Would love for them to come out with same mix but to power an existing xlr mic like my shure and able to use high impedance headphones too

[@petervalentine7108]

Shure actually makes an XLR to USB conversion, which would probably solve your problem with the mic. As far as the hi headphones, I run a small 3.5mm jack amp for mine out of my GoXLR to get more punch. Works like a charm

[@bucketsmith]

AFAIK you can use it to control the audio levels of your interface and thus XLR mic and headphones. It uses WASAPI layer, which your interface also goes through.

[@Jvrse]

Harris I wish I could meet you one day and just be a sponge to all of the information and wisdom you have to offer. I can honestly say, I have NEVER watched one of your videos and it not be something resourceful. Thank you for taking your time and producing the content that is necessary to help yourself as well as MANY others become more successful. Nothing more to say to this video than... Happy streaming!

[@Jvrse]

BTW that intro gave me life might look into working with one of those artists you featured in the last video!

[@Lethcode]

Happy to be in Harris's Corner.

[@KesslersArcade]

I just love the designs Beacn has created with the mix it looks so simple, elegant and easy to use.

[@cptbuzzkill]

I was just able to order the beacn mix create today . Thanks for the video Am very excited to use this since I have been having a crap ton of issues with my two pc setup..

[@AnymMusic]

8:15 1 issue though that I found from another video, because you do everything from technically 1 output in OBS, you can't add a compressor, EQ, etc. to your mic or to discord

[@MiscastJoe]

I may not have been the only one, but the press of the knob to mute to all was a suggestion of mine! Don't care if they were already planning it or if someone else had the idea first... I am claiming it.

[@Roman_The_Russian]

I am so definitely getting this when they're back in stock. This will LITERALLY solve all of my audio issues I'm currently running into. thank you Harris.

[@StarrTouch]

Harris, I love your videos, and showing off the new hardware...BUT/AND combo comment. BUT I have found some of your reviews a bit too kind to the products and enthusiastic to help people feel good about their purchases (and you have not done that all the time just enough that I always have goto other reviewers for more balance reviews but also watching yours). AND I find your videos like this to be the most helpful, simple , AND really interesting. I love to watch these videos to the end. I know you spend lots of time and money on your content and that does keep me coming back to enjoy your personality and efforts. I would personally really love to see you do many more 2 part videos...Pt 1 your excitement review introducing the product that validates ppls purchase...AND a longer video review like this. I personally will watch and like both videos due to your efforts to share so deeply with your subscribers.

[@Squ4dUnofficialHater]

i was the 16 like on this video and i always love ur videos thanks for all the help the last couple of years

[@JaymzW]

Changing to audience mode, which unlocks the mixer for easier variations is a great addition I never thought to suggest! Thanks!

[@Demer..]

I agree with you and the switching from your hearing to the chat thing.

[@Genetixxxxxxxxx]

Adding this to a playlist I'm making, thank you for the value.

[@XxKurrashixX]

Thank you so much!!!! I absolutely needed the help setting up my audio for the Mix Create, and this absolutely helped me getting this setup.

[@NewRegimeCo]

Best tutorial on the web. Working like a charm!

[@NikBesko]

I realllyyyyyy like the simplicity of this. I totally get if you have an XLR mic then the goxlr is the way to go, but I can't justify that until the stream grows. This is dope

[@frankranager8749]

I am SO ENGAGED. Thanks for this!

[@TheGorshWithin]

Left an emoji

[@burnerzzzz9362]

Setting mine up this week. I will definitely re watch this video

[@heyjustplayin]

I actually have a PC Panel, so i dont think im going to get this but it does look promising. The one problem i see with this device is the ability to control Fullscreen Apps like a Game. The PC Panel can do this and makes it super easy to control whatever game you're on without having to add it to the mix everytime you play a new game. Also i really like that the PC Panel controls volume through windows instead of controlling the volume through its own software, less room for failure really.

[@AaronRheinsReptiles]

For the two different audio outputs you were talking about, you can actually do that on a streamdeck too, that's what I use and it's super convenient

[@ShoutHouse]

Still waiting for these to come in stock. Getting one immediately That way I can stop using voicemeeter potato which is ALWAYS causing issues.

[@AidanRobichaux]

Subscribe to their Twitter notifications, you'll see it faster than their email

[@SniperSnipedYou]

Forreal

[@slayerking88]

Dude, I just got my Mix Create and your setup guide is so much better than Beacn's setup guide.

[@soapcter]

The one thing I want to see is either hotkey or stream deck integration, so I can click one button and mute or change volumes of multiple channels at once. For example, a button that mutes my mic and voice chat at the same time, or a button to fade music out then mute after a few seconds. I still use Voicemeeter alongside Wave Link just for the ability to create custom hotkeys like this. Other than that, this software seems perfect to me.

[@ChrisWithACam]

What are the advantages of the create over elgato Wavelink to you? I use Wavelink, and while it has its quirks, seems pretty extensive.

[@soapcter]

@@ChrisWithACam They’re basically very similar in a lot of ways. Beacn software has a routing table, 2 output devices and a physical controller . Wave Link can use the streamdeck. I feel having a physical controller is important, but also having hotkeys or buttons to do multi-actions is also an important feature. Beacn’s biggest selling point right now though is the Mic which is probably the best for streaming now.

[@ChrisWithACam]

@@soapcter I haven't watched this video all the way through yet because I'm at work but Wavelink's inclusion of VSTs is pretty game cha going to me. I can easily get a great sound using a free noise gate and compressor and make my wave3 sound even better.

[@soapcter]

@@ChrisWithACam I’m pretty sure VST plugging support is coming soon to Beacn software

[@XPGreatScottXP]

thanks for this video man, I ordered one and looking forward to using it.

[@coreyscornerofficial]

i need this in my life im currently wrapping my head around if i can isolate my games audio so i can't hear it unless im actually on the game/app

[@coreyscornerofficial]

the mix create i mean

[@KiryiMONZTA]

Looks like the device everyone wanted for years now lol luv it!

[@jimmiedoss]

Great video again this helped me set up my beacn so much!

[@PompaDaddy]

A Beacn Mix (and/or Create) Senpai Gaming design Edition would be a nice product I'd buy ;o

[@Christiantheone]

I'm a director of software engineering and I would hire you as a director of technology in an instant. You have a great natural mind for that. Like you would get a lot of patents on products. Yes your idea for UX is a good one. It makes the process easier and improves the work flow.

[@BBurritoBBueno]

That locking idea is actually really good, I have been thinking of getting some BEACON stuff since I’m back in The States so that would be a nice effect to have with it since I’ll be rebuilding my stream set up.

[@roobski]

Thank you so much for this video! Definitely helps a lot to see all of these details explained in depth and the added functionality that BEACN SW has is really pushing me to upgrade. I'm grateful to have my goXLR as long as I have, but have run into various issues with it such as games like Rocket League not able to be properly routed through the goXLR audio channels and coming through silent, and some stability here and there throughout its use. My intention with the BEACN mix create is that it will solve most if not all of those issues amongst all the additional features.

[@jessesuttles7735]

This was soooo in depth I honestly wish more KZbinrs would explain as clearly as this! Great job Harris! 👌

[@magicstu]

My beacnmic is on the way.. and cant wait! I also love the fact you can enable the mics built in feature to turn it into a mixer which has exactly the same functionality as the beacnmix create. Really handy, considering the beacnmix create is now sold out. I will be deffo be upgrading from the goxlr.

[@kispie]

Im excited about this product!! I don't see myself using it because I got the equipment I plan to use but it's definitely one I will recommend for people over a Shure/Go XLR set since you can get it a fraction of the cost with basically the same quality

[@battman811]

That was a great video, it seems like they did a really good job trying to think of everything. Thanks for covering everything in detail!

[@lionroot_tv]

I like that idea of Auto Unlocking when you switch. Great idea!

[@usandthagunns3922]

this is something i will have to get , awesome.....great video.

[@WaleighWallace]

I want to see a StreamDeck integration. Sure I could probably figure out some way with hot keys or whatever, but a button that can set an audio source to a set value (which means a macro can set them all to set values at once) would be super helpful to “reset” my audio. Or a way to maybe fade out audio when ending stream, or fade out and back in to emphasize focus (instead of simply going in chucks (-5, -5, -5…+5, +5, +5) it would ramp smoothly on its own). It might seem repetitive to have a volume change button on the stream deck, but a +/- volume button would be cool since the knobs don’t offer the most accurate leveling. A stream deck set of buttons could be “Mute to Chat” “Mute to All” “Mute to …” and on each source. This would probably be only for the BEACN Mix Create, but it would still be really cool to see.

[@whobreytv70]

Killer how-to as always!

[@StreetSpaceShip]

Just set this up to run on my main gaming PC, but wanted to use the mic on a work laptop as well. Did the 2 PC setup described, but left my audience mic output alone. I just copied the voice chat to the line out on the routing table and added a hardware channel to control laptop volume separately. Super seamless so far

[@dav3evans]

The switching between outputs is such a nice feature. Closest I'm aware of is the Wave device + a Streamdeck. They have some toggles in there so you can switch that way but that's another £150 you have to spend just for that though. Really like that routing table though. The ability to just send one of your outputs through your mic/voice so others can hear it is great. Haven't managed to work out how to do that on a Wave device yet, other than sending your stream mix through Discord. Even without Mac support *yet - is on the roadmap*, this feels like a great purchase.

[@ZMIRAx]

You can do it with Stream Deck alone. It's called Toggle Audio Device under Audio Devices in the Stream Deck menu. Might be a plugin. Can't remember if it's something I installed or not.

[@dav3evans]

@@ZMIRAx Looks like there was a plugin but also a built in which I'm assuming came later. Noticing for me though that if I change the audio input via a Streamdeck though, it stops me adjusting the volume on my keyboard or headset, very odd! Might reinstall and see if that fixes it.

[@eXtravaganza153]

This really helped me out, thank you!

[@m.a.g.middleagedgamer3743]

I think the reason people are asking about using the GOXLR and other devices, would be how can you use music mixers/sound effects with this setup. i have a cheaper sound interface board which can change voice sounds, cheering, intro music etc. I myself and trying to figure out how to incorporate this right now. Great video, thank you for the information and tutorial.

[@moretoknowshow1887]

Looks awesome Harris. Seriously, i'm picking these up once they're all available..

[@omen]

what mic arm do you use

[@scientristan1274]

That opening at the beginning looks clean in action, damn

[@JordyDona]

this is what ive been looking for.

[@MatthewMillsDaBesta]

So you could have a regular mixer(non goxlr) have that going into your PC. That would house any xlr mics or other devices(second xlr mics/lav mics). And use the this to control just the volume and distribution of that "one" input(the mixer).

[@marumu6702]

Sold out, just like everything else within gaming nowadays :)

[@Mebzy]

I really liked this episode of Harris' Corner

[@KindarConrath]

I agree that the only time I'm going to check the audience mix is when I think that there is an issue with it. And locking/unlocking would be a good idea IMO, you could even control JUST the audience fader if you turn the dial while listening to the audience mix. I also think that it would be good to have a "hold" mode where it switches back to the normal mix when you release if you long press. This means you could hold to check it, and use the dial to adjust an audience volume while its held then when you release it would go back to your regular mix and lock the offset again

[@jaylincruz6765]

I agree with what you said about the audience mix button.

[@IyeViking]

I get paid next week and I’m definitely going to be picking up a Beacn mic and one of these mixers, I currently have a HyperX Quadcast, it sounds great and I got my audio filters set up, but I’d love to have all these things to mess around with and hopefully use for better quality over streams, calls or meetings

[@greywithana]

With regards to combining with a GOXLR and its outputs, the first use I can think of for it is running live events over a PA while streaming. I've done similar things for robotics competitions as there are some sounds that don't need to come through the PA for the in-person attendees that the online viewers would need and vice-versa. I'm currently testing out the combination of GOXLR Mini and BEACN MIX CREATE for exactly this purpose.

[@greywithana]

That said, I'm also testing various combinations of the above along with a Scarlett 2i2 and/or the Elgato Wave XLR.

[@daltonchaney1504]

The idea about swapping to audience mix and being able to adjust, is perfect. There is one thing I would say, the more options the better. Maybe it could be a drop down so that the individual users could choose whether it unlocks or stays locked? I agree that it would be a wonderful suggestion to incorporate.

[@DannTheMan]

I would've hoped to see this device be able to send each knob to a different audio channel, instead of just one audience mix. It'd allow for obs users to separate each audio source for more control in post. Maybe there's a way that I haven't seen yet.

[@DavidSanty]

Since the mixer creates virtual audio devices, you can record to a DAW. Reaper is fully functional to try without a license. You can even use Reaper as your audio processor and send to OBS with ReaRoute.

[@WaleighWallace]

I’d send the “Audience Mix” to OBS (as the main stream audio track) and the separate audio tracks through Virtual Audio cables still. You’ll have the audio from them, but you’ll have to rebalance them in post.

[@TheT8or]

Writing audio to different sources would be god tier.

[@DannTheMan]

@@WaleighWallace AYO! You could have the Audience Mix on OBS track 1 and all the other direct sources to their own OBS tracks where the volume of them doesn't matter until post. Idk if the Mix Create makes virtual outputs for each knob, but you could use good ol VoiceMeeter to separate those out. Goated idea

[@h2oQueen]

Inserts emoji here 🎶 Seriously, thank you Harris!

[@Emmori6]

I do agree unlocking when switching to the audience mix would be a pretty great feature to add, cutting down on clicks while you are live always helps with getting you right back into both egauging with your audience and back into what you were doing. TLDR - minimized interruptions while you are live always welcome lol

[@Jesteroo]

The background looks *amazing* though!! Awesome!

[@EndoranceM]

Call it "Harris' Hangout", where you talk tech, gear and whatever you want. Could be a cool segment for more personal stuff that you're not sure what to call it.

[@holdincourt]

The tutorial I needed! Thank you!

[@trevorchapin2287]

Love the idea of the auto lock/unlock for the audience mix! Still getting it regardless

[@kilmersklassiskakanal]

that camera quality though 🔥

[@ActionHank]

I know you said you haven't really toyed around with the Mix Create and GoXLR together as much yet so I really hope you can make a followup video dedicated to that as well as the WaveXLR that you didn't really talk about at all haha. I feel there will be a ton of people that are currently using the GoXLR/Mini such as myself that want the create just for the submixes. I really want to see how or if the create will be used for volume control when both the full-sized GoXLR and Mini have faders. I'm assuming you'd just set the GoXLR to max on the faders and let the Create do the rest? Anyway, thanks for the video and please do a followup!!

[@rambletalker]

the auto unlock for audience mix is a great idea!

[@kevlofi]

Game changer.

[@hollow3256]

Id love to see them... in stock. That channle switching feature is one of the main reason I want this, I want more that 4 channels than the go xlr and I don't want to go into software like the wave xlr

[@SuperFoodParents]

Screen sharing all the controls really helps to set this up ⚙

[@Thewired_04]

@Harris one video I’d like to see would be how to set up a 2 PC stream setup with what you have talked about in this video here. As always I enjoy your content 😁

[@neversurge1962]

I do agree with your statement, it should auto detach when you switch to audience mode. Hopefully they add this

[@gokid]

ok. i need this now. sold.

[@ewokadventure5402]

Love your videos! I just got my hands on a Beacn Mic and love the sound quality! I'm having a weird issue though--mic sounds amazing on OBS, but every other channel sounds muffled/garbled and if I try to talk while there are any other sound sources playing sound, my mic is then garbeled too. Any ideas what would cause that? I followed your instructions here settings up the sound devices - OBS set to 48khz stereo sample rate *edit* I am using the mixer in the Beacn app, hence following this video on top of your Mic video

[@gimliq]

Super helpful video, thank you!

[@DeChewi]

You know you made it when you are the sponsor of your own videos.

[@mudstuff]

This is great. I was looking at the wave xlr since it matches nicely with the stream deck but what bugged me was that I couldn't control speakers with the volume dial/mute as well as headphones. You could connect speakers instead of headphones or one to the pc and use the stream deck but I wanted all of them ideally. So the output toggle is great! It seems a bit overpriced though, dropping the xlr and headphone jack but I'd get one - if they were in stock and available in the UK!

[@tobias3954]

i need this in my life

[@MahkelGames]

Finally got a mix/create and I'm working out all the kinks on my end and this video helped out a TON! I have run into a problem though. I don't have the mic yet and I am using another USB mic with a few filters in OBS (I don't stream in the quietest of places). When I use the audience mix with the filters the audio is unuseable, so I have the mic set up on the voice chat channel and muted to audience. I'm wondering if this is the best way or is there a better way that I'm missing! Love your videos! Everytime I run into a problem this is the first place I stop!

[@cluelessfish]

Question with the Audiencae Mix how to you Track 6 to exclude music from yr vod if you have it running thru here @8:18 I would be assuming you add it as an extra mob for steam music etc to truely split that off ?
