hiso glad to see another one of your videos

[@etoilefushigi]

IDK about you since I'm 5 seconds in but I've had my BEACN Mic+Create for a few weeks now and I"m loving it. I've had some very minor issues, nothing drastic, and all easily fixed with a quick message in their Discord. I went from a Yeti and instead of going XLR I went with BEACN and I'm honestly happy I did. My user experience is so fantastic that I'll probably never upgrade unless it's to another BEACN product. Amazing value and great support. Your videos helped a ton too!

[@DeltaCreativeBranding]

🙏🏻

[@WizardCM-1337]

"Software" being both points 1 (best) and 5 (worst) is a perfect reflection of software as a whole. It's *so* hard to get software right, and especially if you're releasing updates often there's more chances of things breaking.

[@SmokingSteelGarage]

I ordered a Beacn Mic for my YT content, so far so good. I'm no sound expert so its still far from perfect but I found it really easy to understand using the guide which is a great idea. Hoping to keep tweaking it as I go. and so far no crashing that Harris has mentioned. Thanks for putting me on to this Alpha and Harris.

[@bradmeissner]

I have the mic and the create. The software is extremely buggy. When it works, it's the best. I don't think I could go back to something else at this point because I've seen what is possible. Now if it could just be possible with closer to 100% up time, that would be perfection.

[@hybrid1sme]

Hi

[@L1ttleBadger00]

agreed!! I was running a goxlr mini and a pod mic and now running the beacn mic and mix create and love it!! Just wish the random crashes didnt happen ha

[@iwifia]

@@churrho worth it but I stilllve my create even with the massive amount of issues it has.

[@javierpaez14]

The software is awful

[@javierpaez14]

The bugs specifically

[@LuisGomez-qg8hj]

This looks so cool and I love all the honest points you bring up! I bet in a year or two though it'll close the gap between its bigger competitors. I would love to see your opinion at some point after a bit of time passes.

[@WatchMysh]

Thanks for your thoughts! 99% agreed. What I miss most is a dedicated mute function which really mutes the mic on a hardware level. Right now it's just a global mute over windows while the amps etc still keep running.

[@copperhead228]

I ended up buying a mix create after watching some videos on it. I absolutely love it. The amount of control I have over my audio is insane. It's also super simple as well. After I watched Beacn's tutorial. lol But, like you said. Because it's still such a new product. There are bugs with the software. Thankfully fully closing & starting the software again fixes whatever was wrong. Some more customization would also be nice in future updates. Like being able to control the brightness of the buttons & screen would be really nice if possible. Or someone else mentioned the ability to change the theme of how info is displayed on the device. Overall, I'm happy with it.

[@captainkrk88]

Coming back to say they have upgraded software even more. Now when it comes to the sources and the mixer, no longer do you need to go into windows audio to change sources. Now you can literally just drag and drop sources into different channels right in the mixer app. It's fantastic.

[@kbosher1]

Great video! Helps with deciding on which type of mic to upgrade to! 😁

[@jamesthenewb]

Your videos help a lot, thank you. I really like the Mix Create, but all the stuff in this video is spot on. In addition, if someone is using OBS to add filters to their Mic from say a standard DAC, this device might add a bit of a challenge. I'd almost want an AudienceMix2 channel so I can filter the mic separately when it goes into OBS, but still manage it via the MixCreate buttons and knobs. I feel that having something to pre-filter a Microphone input rather than using something like the built in filters in OBS before it goes into the MixCreate might be beneficial if someone wants to take full advantage, unless using the Beacn mic, that already has that stuff built in. The software is not super stable yet; I definitely feel like a Beta tester. It can also use up to 15% (normally around 5%) of a RTX2080 GPU. I wonder if frame rate capping at 30fps or less for whatever they are rendering might help with stability. The UI is good, but some elements feel cramped, while others seem inflated. Scaling the application window feels strange as it is resizes like video game window.

[@EliteSaboteur831]

ive been thinking about getting this mic, your voice sounds really clear and crisp. great review video!

[@dakitt]

I've had both the beacn mic and mix create for about 2 1/2 months now and compared to what i was using (blue snowball) its great, plus not being that savvy with sound it's a way i can learn how to get good audio for my streams. Downsides are bugs yes but having it all in one is convenient, expensive yes but compared to a sm7b set up that i was looking into it is far cheaper. Not that I'm bigging up beacn as I'm sure the competitors as you say are cheaper, for me it was a good purchase for my requirements. Plus i love getting updates and seeing what they will change next, trying to find out how to get your beta version now, i want that mute option! great vid, always enjoy your content.

[@vaderdtd9908]

I just got my beacn mic and mix create today, hoping my experience is a bit more smooth than some others. Cheers for all you do!

[@TeXaSLeGend817]

I have the mic ever since I saw you show it off first and I absolutely love it. Although my software has been buggy where my settings have defaulted at least twice. And although I keep my mic plugged in, discord resorts to the default input which makes me needs to change it back to the beacn almost every time. But it's definitely giving me quality I couldn't get ok the yeti

[@thomasjansen7008]

Recently picked up the Mic and Create. Haven't gotten the chance to put it all together. Excited to run this set up though. The Create excites me more than anything here. Such an Innovative idea!

[@ragingdieseltv]

I'd love to see you compare the PreSonus Revelator Dynamic Microphone to the Beacn Mic.. Both are dynamic USB microphones, both have onboard DSP's, and both have software to control your sound.. Love to here your input.. Great content keep it up...

[@CrazyForBlu]

I really like the mic... But I don't like the sound. It just doesn't sound full. I don't know how to explain it, but it kinda sounds like a headphone mic. I really love the software though.

[@ZekeWaters_]

yeah i totally get what you mean. the sound itself (which is pretty important with a microphone) just doesn't cut it for me.

[@FractalPrism.]

i asked someone i play overwatch with regularly if they prefer the current (beacn) or my old mic ($15 logitech from 2001) they couldnt tell the difference.

[@AL_1547]

Can we get an update on this soon? I'm curious to see what kind of progress they've made on the software issues since this video came out in May. It's been almost another 4 months and I know the BEACN team has pushed out a ton of updates. I think there is one about every 2 weeks. Until the crashes stop, I just can't justify dropping this kind of money on a setup.

[@TicketsTom]

I'm glad you spoke about the software being buggy. I watched so many reviews before purchasing, and none mentioned this before. If I'd known it would be as buggy as it has been, I would have waited.

[@marcuszettergren8885]

That’s what influencers do. They don’t let us know about the bad stuff. GoXlr was plagued with shitty solutions, build quality and buggy software too, and quite honestly, pretty toxic support at times. Now it looks like some of the same devs are behind this lookalike of a mic and peripherals. I wouldn’t hold my breath with devs like these.

[@kingarty]

I don’t stream but the Mix is awesome. Being able to control audio from different windows, mic, desktop, games, being able to switch output between headphones and speakers, it is such a quality of life improvement I could not go back on

[@FreakOTechnology]

As a former colleague of some of the members of the Beacn team I wish them well in fixing their software issues, it is not easy.

[@minymeep1689]

Are they over-promising?

[@StormHydraugr]

Always enjoy your videos I did sent a tweet your way and was just hoping for comparison of this against wave 3 and razer siren mics. Would like to know your thoughts on what each meets certain needs, rating, with considering budget and pricing. I know that seems a lot but I would think I am not the only one who is looking into mics with built in software and would like a video focused on such and maybe there are other options for setup that myself and others are missing. Just trying to give ideas for future videos/content.

[@AprilSamurai]

Can't wait to see i have the mic and mix myself I will do more tweaking but I agree about the sound quality I kinda miss my samson q9u I sold for MY voice in particular

[@yabs9642]

my friend is giving me his beacn mic for video edits, thank you for this review! now i have a good idea of what im getting myself into. Regardless of the buggy software, this is leaps & leaps ahead from a damn near 10 year old snowball :D

[@austin.t5557]

Oohhhh your last point is a BIG one, My wife Got the combo and slowly ended up going back to her Wave XLR, not being able to control her audio channels, the app crashing leaving her mic none functioning, Volume levels randomly spiking.... She swapped out the Mix for the Wave and most those issues went away.

[@SmwGamin]

Because of your beacn video three months ago i bought the mix create and i thank you this was the best idea and cheap idea then going with a go xlr to do all my audio on a 2 pc set now im just wait to get there mic lol

[@toasteronlegs1594]

As my first big step Into my dream set up despite all the bugs and frustrations I love this mic. It's easy to under stand for someone like me who has no idea what he is doing and it dosnt stress my pc in the slightest.

[@ZacchaeusVal]

Great video! Informative points. 👍

[@NightFoxx]

Mine bugs out 50% of my recordings and crashes the app. I can't hear game audio or the people I talk to anymore until I can pause and boot it back up. It has been a huge issue and made me stop using it entirely. Love the concept, but the bugs KILL the experience for me. I'll try again in a few months when they have time to address the issues, but for now, I'm back using voicemeeter.

[@ArthurField]

The Mic or the Mix Pro Create? If it's the mixer, and you're looking to sell HMU

[@yuuokami2156]

@@ArthurField Both come with the same software, though.

[@ItsSailcat]

Their UI is just killing me. Everything else is amazing. I miss my GOXLR Sidetone though.. although you can get that if you just use a wired headset on the beach mic I miss the GOXLR sliders :P

[@AZSparky]

I'm looking forward to what features continue to be added

[@deldarel]

One thing to the last point. Because they're often adding new things at this rate, stability will keep fluctuating. It's part of the early adoption tax from a fresh team and ambitious team. You see this often with open source programs too. In the long run this will not be a bad thing. In fact, it often lead to stable and reliable consumer standards like Audacity or OBS.

[@MrKhamlin34]

I have the mic and the mix and although there are some bugs, I am extremely happy with the decision to switch. For someone who has no clue about audio and being on a 2 PC setup my audio with the go XLR mini and a horrible yeti blue mic was confusing, frustrating, and could never get it to work properly. This new setup I had some trouble setting up at first just because of my own limitations and understanding of audio, but I went in the discord server and they answered my questions in less than a minute and had me up and running in no time. If you are like me, have no clue about audio, this setup is amazing.

[@NovaDoll]

I mean anything an beat a yeti. It sounds pretty horrible.

[@jabombav]

I had issues with the software to the point i was just going to swap back to my old crappy mic at one point. Fortunately they have done a couple updates and the software is stable enough for me now. I went ahead and took the risk and got the mix create and have been absolutley loving the control. I really hope they keep improving everything and become a real competitor in the market in the future.

[@BamaRick]

I’m torn between this, the presonus revelator dynamic, or sticking with my XLR. I love the control you get with this mic and the Beacn Mix Create. I’m not sound tech savvy, but it seems between this and the GOXLR or Wave XLR are pretty simple to learn. Is there a physical mixer that does the dual channel control like the Wave XLR and Beacn Mix give?

[@beardedchristian5630]

i have both the beacn mic and mix create and i agree and can confirm every thing said here great quality love the software it is alittle on the pricey side (if you can get your hands on it) but the only negitive is the program does seem to crash quite a bit but it has got alot better after i got a powered usb hub (so i believe part of it was i was overloading the usb bus of my pc) but it still happens but better

[@Crupp250k]

I finally listened to some of the stream beats albums after months of you saying I should….Best choice ever. What an amazing service. Thank you!

[@merkittybizzle]

I would love updates on the bugs and what not. I’m currently saving up to get this setup for streaming and content creation. Also thinking it’s better to wait so I don’t have to deal with the bugs since it is new lol

[@XPGreatScottXP]

I wish the deity vo-7u had that level of software, but I just got the mix create and look forward to nerding out with that. Ps: bought the Deity and mix create after watching your videos, dude I appreciate you.

[@petaren]

I have the Wave XLR + Podmic setup that I use on my mac. It's mostly been great. But I do get jealous of the intuitive UI on the Beacn, as I'm still learning and still don't know what all the audio controls do or how I should adjust them. And I agree with your statement about software both being the best and the worst of this experience. It's great that new features are getting added and things are getting improved. For example, a little while ago, they didn't have proper M1 Mac support, but one could get it to work with a hack. That has since been fixed. But now there is some other issue which causes `coreaudiod` (the audio daemon on macOS) to gobble up all CPU, the audio to get distorted and sometimes it even crashes coreaudiod. Luckily, those can all be fixed by killing coreaudiod and the system will immediately restart it, and it will work again. But I'm hoping that issue will get fixed in a future update.

[@dickeyseamus]

That UI on the software is just mesmerizing! If they can get the software solid and stable, I would think it would be worth the price.

[@alinavianne]

I love their product and you can tell they want to make the product we all have been asking for, but I'm definitely waiting until they implement their OBS Integration. The only reason why I'm sticking with my current setup is because I have Voicemeeter Banana and I was able to split my audio for twitch and recording on OBS and it's overall cheaper like you said (I have an Elgato Wave XLR + AT2030). If Beacn can do the same thing without me having to MacGyver audio cables and go deep into my audio settings like the pain VoiceMeeter was, I'm sold.

[@pden94]

You can split your audio now, as they have recently released the VOD track feature that can be used on OBS. I'm not sure what the dedicated OBS integration will bring

[@alinavianne]

@@pden94 yep! I think they’re prob gonna go in the right direction. I should have been more clear tho in my og post - I want to also be able to export my separate audio tracks. Like for example, the Elgato Wave XLR can split audio too, but exports everything on one track in OBS

[@AnthonyGoodley]

I have the full sized GoXLR and a Shure SM7B. With the exception of me really wanting submixes so far I haven't seen any compelling upgrades. Not without dropping well over $1,000. I'm happy where I'm at.

[@Olaus_]

TC Helicon has also promised submixes in the next big update for GoXLR, probably this summer.

[@lrichardson23]

Been thinking about picking one up after a few months of it being out, and now Harris drops the exact right video lol helllo?

[@adonutplaysgames]

The mic and h/w are very nice, but it's just too much. I'm happy using my Elgato setup with my Reaper Plugins for my Wave Link software. Awesome video tho. Good to see how far the kit can be pushed.

[@lem0n4ever83]

Thanks for the update!

[@Asdisekai]

The only issue I have had is if the pc has been idle for too long the software freezes for a bit but everything works great I haven't had a chance to stream with it yet but no issues with just chatting on discord with my friends while gaming. But improvements are bound to be made, and I wouldn't be shocked if they come out with a new beacn mic later on

[@JOMprodBeta]

i have it and i agree... i love it.....when its not being buggy.... i get a lot of compliments from ppl who hear my audio...but the other day for a week the beacn software would not turn on...like literally it would pop up and then just be blacnk...no profiles no anything...i was troubleshooting for a week and even RE INSTALLED WINDOWS to make sure there was no hidden presets somewhere conflicting with the software and still NOTHING...as I was looking fo rother virtual mix softwares it randomly started working again... BUT when it IS working...this software plus mic is a godsend!

[@antonioolmos3445]

are you still facing issues with the software? im thinking of getting it

[@JOMprodBeta]

@@antonioolmos3445 i'm not facing any issues buuuuuuuuuut you best believe i'm scared of upgrades! lol ....I will say i get the most compliments and fake insults from my community/discord/twitch about how great the mic sounds. I still hate the thought of the software being able to just mess up on me I shouldnt have to be afraid of upgrades but I digress. The simple answer to your question is "no" i'm not facing any issues whatsoever and while it's working it is oh so sweet!

[@ASTROSR4]

Would love an updated Beacn Mic settings video!

[@CoalitionGaming]

Mix Create FTW. The regular mix can have all it's functionality replicated and even bested by a midi controller like the Korg nanokontrol2 and worlde easy control 9 in combination with Midi-Mixer and it's OBS plugin like I've shown on one of my own vids. Not crazy about the mic.

[@phantomstrk]

Interesting that you are having those issues. I wonder if it's a factor of the amount of I/O versus a more standard setup. I haven't had it crash at all, but i only use the create and i have a quadcast hyperx. How much of the issue is maybe USB on the MB or underlying issues on windows.

[@Olson34]

Love to see alpha gaming to a video series on the best audio setups at different price points. I think it would greatly help a lot of people rather then saying this or that is the best thing.

[@Stalker2delta]

I wont lie, picked up the BEACN Create/Mic and I've only been using it for 24 hours at this point. Watched a handful of reviews and talk to a few people, but I tend to trust the Alpha Gaming channels judgement. So when I saw this video, my butthole slammed shut and I was just praying I hadn't made a huge mistake. I've noticed a few things with the software that feel like bugs, and like yourself, am trying to maintain a degree of optimism that things get sorted. All in all, pretty happy with things at the moment and wishing the people at BEACN the best.

[@LevvyKlister]

I got a mix create a couple of weeks ago and I totally agree with the 5 points, completely.

[@gabrielbrian_]

The mic for me sometimes trips out causing me to have to reset it over and over for some reason. But other than that I love it! I hope it gets fixed.

[@vinski19]

Hey, I found your content recently and have found it entertaining and informative. It's nice that your presenting style is not over the top. So keep up the good work. A question, if I may. Within the Beacn mixer (or any other competitor for that matter) would there be and option to use an input from an audio interface - like an SM7B into a Focusrite - and then use a bluetooth headset connected to the computer as the output? I know the latency isn't ideal for live monitoring but I only want to use it for personal reasons but am unable to find a direct answer to this. I hope I've made that clear enough!! Hope you can help, Thanks.

[@zseabeard]

i agree with all of these, especially the software. i know they are working hard on the software but it is BAD rn. i have had the mic for over a month now and the bugs are frequent and the crashes are persistent. weirdly enough, getting a mix create stabilized things for me a bit. i’m hoping in the next 2-3 months they stabilize the software because it is one of the most unstable programs i have ever used right now lol. still, i really love this mic / mixer and trust BEACN to come through. to anyone still interested in this company, i don’t think it’s a bad investment at all - it when it works it is amazing. it’s just more of investment in the future and a belief that things will work better down the line. and i certainly believe it.

[@FractalPrism.]

i got the Beacn mic and mix create as soon as i could, so ive had it for abt 2.5 months at first the software would crash 100% of the time if your pc goes to sleep, some features straight did not work at all and there were various other crashes and problems as well. i was active on their Discord and reported the issues to their team and everything has been updated and fixed. so i fully have confidence that if you complain constructively they 100% will fix any software problems.

[@RathOX]

I was gonna get the mix create but heard so many bugs

[@AustinTheNarwhal]

Leaving a comment because you said to. Thanks for the information you put out!

[@slayerking88]

I've had the mix create since release and what they need to fix is the issue were you have to save your profile before shutting down your computer. if you don't, the thing will stay on while the computer is off. before anyone says, "well, you should save when you do any changes", just turning the knobs causes this to happen. that should autosave.

[@SafetyFooT]

I got real excited about this mic when you featured it a while ago, immediately ordered it, then had to cancel shortly after because it's not mac compatible. This reinforces your stance on this being "prosumer" as opposed to a product that could be used in a professional audio setting.

[@WatchMysh]

It's gaming oriented. So no surprise they focus on Windows.

[@IanAlbertson]

I have the mic and the mix. A few things I’ve found to have trouble with are solely on the mix. The mic is fine for me as I am just using it as a way to communicate with my teammate, not streaming. The mic will sometimes not even light up when I power my pc on. Almost as if it’s not connected. The second main issue is that some apps don’t stay connected, mainly the xbox companion app. It will disconnect and I cannot control the volume of my friends once it’s happens without restarting the whole pc.

[@torchedFN]

Hi Harris ur content always makes my day 🤗

[@DonJuanRJ]

Thanks bro! Nice video!

[@KrugerBoy]

I use a Podmic into a GoXLR Mini. Yet to fail me! Love the sound quality.

[@willliberty7533]

I agree with you totally, if there was only 1 point that i have to really complain about is how buggy the software is. i use a blue mic and a corsair headset when im trying to be quiet and not wake my wife or son. when i switch from one source to the next. crashes 99% of the time. when i have stream labs running and streaming, the software will randomly crash. its frustrating, but i think its worth waiting it out to get them to resolve the issues. I am not using their mic, as stated before, but i was waiting for a review to do it, and i may just do that, I have alfull time getting background noises away on my blue mic. Thanks for the review!

[@Toomss]

with the quality of the software how long do you think it will take a competitor like Elgato to implement similar things like the EQ or extra output mixes?

[@loon_x1486]

We really need BEACN to create something to directly compete with the GOXLR. Something like a Mix Create with a good XLR mic preamp, good headphone amp, and line out/in and optical ports. Also, the ability to use all the good things in the software such as EQ, compression, noise gate, etc. That’s where BEACN will be unrivaled is when/if they create a product with the same or better capabilities as the mix create and GOXLR combined.

[@JP_Gagnon]

The hiss is covered by the background music you added on the editing. I'll take your word for it I guess.

[@therealsechs]

Do a yearly update on products. Beacn software doesn't crash. I have a two system setup and it works perfectly! It's really amazing

[@VontezDecreamy]

Lowkey about to buy this whole setup tbh. I have GoXLR and im like nah man, audio is all mixed up on my system cus I use 2 pc setup. This might help me and clean up the signal path and make it easier to control my audio haha

[@DHunt88]

[@NevermintDebs]

I will say this. This Mic is on my dream list to get. I can't wait to save up the coin to put it to use. The elgato wave3 is nice but me thinks this one is FAR better when it comes to all of it.

[@TD8278]

Interesting, that you put their software on #1 & #5, as it is that, which I hate the most about the BEACN Mix Create. It crashes several times a day for no reason at all and last week I had five (!) crashes within a 5 hours stream, which was ridicolous. BEACN-guys are trying to help, but they cannot find the reason and this stuff goes on for months now. I love the Mix Create, if only the software would be more stable.

[@BenjaminWagener]

Thanks, that was really interesting.

[@doctorgamester]

I got only the mic purely because the software has the audio channel controls built in if I want them. Software bugs might get in the way of this for some, but so far for me it has worked out about as well as anything else on my system. The BIG benefit for me is that the noise suppression and EQ etc is all ON THE MIC. I don't have to rely on the software to be active once that's set in order to use the microphone on my PC or even take it to a completely different device that accepts a USB mic. In that sense, once I set it up, it "just works". Even on - get this - an iPad. Of course for streams and content I enjoy the fact that I can still use the audio channel separation and routing even without having the mix hardware product. If the software was buggy for me there, I would probably have sought a different device to do mixing. But I doubt I would give up the noise suppression and EQ being saved on the mic itself.

[@To1ne]

Sounded way less as a sales pitch compared to the other videos. Like it. Feels more genuine.

(Im completely new to audio and streaming) I purchased an sm7b and a scarlett 2i2, I'm interested in streaming and wanted to know if theres software that would serve as an alternative to a wave xlr?

I need to know what mic stand you’ve got there, brother. Been looking for something like that for a while and I’ve only found one solution, but I’m not convinced it will work.

[@RaiTimeVTHighlights]

I would like to say, I experienced the audio cutouts with this several times, but I just switched usb's of my audio interface and the BEACN Mix Create and it fixed it, so if you haven't tried some of you out there, maybe see if using a different usb port works, sure did for me thus far.

[@greatbriton8425]

That's very interesting! Thank you!

[@DKTD23]

I ended up returning mine. If they put a better capsule in it I would certainly be open to a V2

[@TheAgentPrime]

Picked up the mic and then later the create and I love them, I think the only bug I have seen that I cant stand is one where I start up the computer and it creates nearly 200 instances of a window asking me if I am sure I want to use the mixer software (this was when I only had the mic) and the only fix was to uninstall and reinstall the software. Smaller issues would be the mic not saving the advanced settings I set for expander and going back to simple and if I mute to audience and then click the arrow on the mix create the mute audience light stays red even if what's there now is not muted to audience.

[@ToddDolce]

TWO QUESTIONS: 1) Once you add the EQ via the mixer, does it REMAIN that way or do we have to reset everything after every time you turn off the mic when not in use? 2) Can you create a preset after you have it mixed the way you want the mic to sound from that point forward in case it doesn't retain that setting OR if you want to use the mic on a different PC/laptop and you just want to import that preset to save countless minutes of redoing everything?

[@bzipoli]

i hope they fix the bugs soon, it seems really promising

[@walktxrn]

My hope is for a higher quality mic next time, and the software to be better by then. Right now MIDI Mixer and a $80 mixer does what I need for audio mixing... but I would love to not have my xlr cables + mic + mixer all having to be setup for recording. BEACN is the promised one... but right now... its closer to "I hate sand" and not the war hero...

🧐 so I have a question I’ve wanted to get the elgato wave mic but when I saw this I was keeping it in mind. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of money. I’m looking to separate my audio (music, game, discord) an now be able to keep music out of the vod with out having to download a plug in for obs. Would you recommend saving up for this an hopefully the bugs get iron out or would you recommend the wave or something else

[@RJ-vy4yd]

Best first step for you - learn how to use voicemeeter and vbcables. You can do all of that with it and will just miss hardware controls which elgato doesn't offer you anyway. Then it's also extremely easy to have a vod mix natively in obs without any additional plugins. Beacn and Elgato are just easy way of getting that without need to learn anything as they offer much more user friendly UI. However as you said you "don't have a lot of money" I'm just giving you a friendly tip that such an expense is unnecessary and you can get all what you wanted for just couple of euros and maybe couple of hours at worst to learn how to set it up.

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

get the Elgato wave1 or 3 it's really solid and uses way less resources. The software is more better and you already have vst integration also for way less money.

[@UnstableSparkey]

Thanks bb 😘 always appreciate your hard work that goes into these videos!

[@imCyle]

its not really a thought but more of a question, i have a big goxlr would you suggest pairing the create, as i really like the sub mixs etc

[@RockStampPAS]

So in essence for the negatives, if you dont want to get the beacon mic because of sound quality, you could grab a higher quality mic and the wave xlr and have a really good setup with submixes and stuff?

[@roobski]

curious to see how the bugs clear up at 6 and 12 months....also if they try to do a value effort version to cut prices on parts after a year of release
