Personal And Audience Mix Controls

BEACN Mix Create supports separate Personal and Audience Mixes, which can be routed to different outputs. This panel is used to configure final mix routing.

Routing Table

The Routing Table allows you to quickly route and mute sources to specific outputs. Changes made here are considered more permanent than Mute Modes, which are intended for temporary adjustments.

BEACN Mix Create Setup

Start by setting up your Personal Listening Device in the BEACN App. This is the headphone or speaker device you'll use for monitoring audio.

Assign up to two Personal Listening Devices and switch between them as needed.

Note

If no Personal Listening Device is assigned in the Personal Mix section, you won't hear audio routed through BEACN Mix Create.

Faders

BEACN Mix Create hardware uses knobs, but the software interface uses faders.

• Left Fader → Personal Mix (the mix that you can adjust that is only for you).
• Right Fader → Audience Mix (the mix your audience hears).

Note

Faders will be highlighted in green to show which mix you are actively listening to and controlling.

Fader Linking

Personal Mix and Audience Mix volumes are linked so that they are the same for you and your stream.

1. Click the link icon to unlink them and adjust separately.

Relink them after adjustments while preserving the volume relationship.

Mute Modes

Mute Modes let you control where an audio source is muted. Choose from:

• All – Mutes the audio everywhere.
• Audience – Mutes the source in your Audience Mix.
• Self – Mutes the source in your Personal Mix.
• Chat – Mutes the source in your Chat Mic output.

Mute Modes in the BEACN App.

To setup Mute Modes:

1. Click the dropdown menu button or press the soft rectangular buttons on the device to select where the source is muted.
2. Use the dropdown menu in the BEACN App to adjust the mute mode.

Note

Mute to Audience mutes your microphone in the Audience Mix but keeps it active in voice chat, and your Personal Mix.

Fader Locking

Fader Locking, also called Knob Locking, allows you to lock up to three sources, so they appear on every page.

• Click the Lock icon to pin a source (e.g., your microphone) to the left-most position on all pages for easy access.

Knob Paging

BEACN Mix Create supports multiple pages of knobs, letting you control more than four sources at a time.

• Press one of the half-moon buttons on the device to switch pages.

Note

BEACN tries to prioritize giving you full pages of knobs so you always have access to 4 sources.

Mic And Hardware Sources

The BEACN App allows you to assign any microphone or hardware input source for better control over your audio setup.

1. Select your primary microphone from the dropdown list.
2. Your microphone will automatically route to the Audience Mix and Chat Mic.

Add up to two additional hardware faders to control external audio sources, such as capture cards, extra microphones, or any device listed in your Windows recording settings.

Note

Hardware & Aux 1 and Aux 2 devices are shared meaning you can only have a combination of 2 hardware devices or 2 Aux devices at the same time.

Other Sources

BEACN Mix Create generates multiple Recording and Playback devices in Windows to assign programs to specific faders.

To assign an application to a device:

1. Add a fader for the type of program you want to control (e.g., Browser for Chrome).
2. Ensure the application is producing audio.
3. Once detected, it will appear in the Assignments tab.
4. Drag and drop the application to the desired fader.

Note

By default, applications output to the System fader. Reassign them as needed.
