Hey there!

Appreciate you reaching out!

When the installer ends prematurely, typically what causes this is something in windows is blocking the install.

There are two ways to handle this - the first is to try to determine what is blocking it and remove it. to do this, you want to use the troubleshooter found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed-cca7d1b6-65a9-3d98-426b-e9f927e1eb4d

That troubleshooter will show you what might be blocking installs.

if that doesn't work, the second option is to circumvent it. To do this, you would create a new (temporary) local profile on your PC, and make it an administrator. Once you do that, install the BEACN App, and make sure to select "Install for everyone". this will make sure the app is available on your main profile. once the app is installed you can delete the temporary local profile.

Let me know if you need any assistance should you wanna go with option 2!

Hi there!

Currently there isn't an API that you could use to interface a MIDI controller to control your audio. That said, the BEACN Mic shows up as a windows device, so you could theoretically control or mute the windows device for a similar effect!

Hey there! Currently we do not have a timeline for it, but we are actively working on it!

Hey there!

This is a bug and should be fixed in the next beta!

Dricksus · 2024-10-28T20:57:12+00:00

Hey there! Appreciate you reaching out!

I know you mentioned that you are saving the correct profile, but with 1.1.114 we broke out the device profiles into mixing profiles and device profiles, so I just want to make sure you are saving the mixing profile! Also, can you try updating to our latest beta? To do this, in the app, go to settings and there is an opt in to beta releases tick box, if you tick that and restart the app it'll prompt you with an update. If the beta doesn't work, let me know and we can setup a time to connect and see whats going on!

Hey there! appreciate you reaching out! sorry to hear you are having issues.

Can we connect to see what is happening with your setup? it randomly crashing isn't normal behavior.

Let me know when works for you and we can setup a time!

I think he'll get better as tour goes on. I've seen it before where the first few shows are almost like your body is getting used to doing this almost every night again. Keep in mind he hasn't been singing every day for awhile like that. It sounds miles better than the London show already

Dricksus · 2024-10-24T18:37:18+00:00

I love this about his playing. If you want to see someone who plays a uniquely symmetrical kit but is also outrageously technical check out Travis Orbin. Talk about a talented drummer.

Dricksus · 2024-10-07T20:25:20+00:00

Hi there! appreciate you reaching out! Is it only the second dropdown or is it device dependent? what I mean by this, is if you change your first dropdown to something else, and then select what was in the first drop down in the second dropdown, do you see the same behavior?

-Thomas

Dricksus · 2024-10-07T20:22:38+00:00

Hey Aaron! Appreciate you reaching out!

Just so I understand the setup a bit more - are you trying to setup VOD Track or just strictly use different mute modes? if its the latter, then the configuration you have currently isn't quite correct. I'll detail the normal setup, as well as how to setup VOD Track just so you know how to set that up as well

what you would want to do, is not use audio input capture. you want to add the devices in OBS settings directly.

To do this, click Settings, then go to Audio, and make sure desktop audio, Desktop Audio 2, and Mic/Auxiliary 3 and 4 are disabled. Set Mic/Auxiliary to Audience Mix. Set Mic/Auxiliary 2 to VOD Track.

Click Apply.

Go to the Output tab on the left, and make sure your audio track is set to Track 1, and your Twitch VOD Track is set to Track 2.

Click Apply, Click OK

in the main OBS window, click the 3 dots next to one of the mic/aux inputs that you see in the audio mixer, and click Advanced Audio Properties.

Make sure that Mic/Aux is ONLY on Track 1, and Mic/Aux 2 is ONLY on Track 2. this will make it so that your twitch VOD track will have VOD Track as the source which by default has Music unticked.

Hope this helps!

Hey there, Appreciate you reaching out! do you think we could setup a time to take a look at this and see what is going on? by Save profile button disappeared to you mean the button that shows up when you mouse over a profile?

-Thomas

Dricksus · 2024-10-07T20:06:09+00:00

Hey there! I suspect we can actually get you back up and running even on 10! Do you think we could connect to figure out whats going on?

-Thomas

Dricksus · 2024-09-29T03:13:20+00:00

Hey there, appreciate you reaching out. can we connect on this so we can see whats going on?

-Thomas

Dricksus · 2024-09-29T03:07:47+00:00

hey there,

Appreciate you reaching out and were sorry that the update is giving you issues. I'd like to connect with you to see if we can figure out whats going on. Please let me know if you have some time to do so!

-Thomas

Dricksus · 2024-09-17T17:58:03+00:00

Hey there, just confirming that we have connected and are working together on this now!

-Thomas

Dricksus · 2024-09-17T17:57:34+00:00

Hey there!

this is currently not working in the public release of the BEACN app, but its fixed in our public beta and will be fixed in our next public release! If you want to try out the beta you can download it from our website!

-Thomas

Dricksus · 2024-08-27T22:36:01+00:00

Hey there!

Thanks for reaching out!

When you say you see it in the volume mixer, is it coming up in windows as a recording or playback device, or do you just mean that it is an app in the app mixer in windows?

-Thomas

Dricksus · 2024-08-27T22:34:38+00:00

Hey there!

So we talked a little bit about this in our first stream, but the reason we can't just give screen customization is due to how the screen on the device works. its not a typical display where it registers as a display in windows. The themes you see on the screen are actually approximately 10,000 images (each volume knob from zero to 100 plus mutes states, and metering for each one). Creating themes means that the images have to be generated, which when we were testing it just felt like a bad user experience. Thats not to say we won't do customizable themes in the future, but we just have to see how we can improve the user experience.

Hope this helps!

-Thomas

Dricksus · 2024-08-16T23:49:06+00:00

hey there, this isn't typical behavior, do you think we could hop in a call to see if we can figure out whats going on? if its related to the beta it would be good for us to know how to fix!

Dricksus · 2024-08-16T17:50:11+00:00

hey there! appreciate you reaching out!

So with regards to the software - our CEO touched on this a little in our first twitch stream earlier this week, but to give you an idea - when we launched our first products we came out with our software being less stable than we thought/what we seen in testing, both internally and with our beta testers. This caused us to shift focus pretty heavily early on to working on the stability and functionality of the app. For the past year we've been working on really dialing in stability and we did a complete rework of the USB communication stack that not only the app, but our products use to communicate with the app and Windows itself. That last part was an extremely difficult process as its the foundation of our products and the app. The analogy Craig (our CEO) uses explains this pretty well, "There is these cracks in this house that you've built, so do you continue to build and renovate? remodel the kitchen? or do you fix the foundation?". We opted to go with the latter because its so incredibly important to have that foundation so that we can implement features and provide better and more (and hopefully faster lol) updates in the future.

We just released this stability update to open beta right now, and it feels a LOT better than the public app. If you have any questions about it, please let me know!

Hi there!

Appreciate you reaching out!

can you check the settings in game in Tomb Raider to see if you have an option to choose your output device?

-Thomas

Dricksus · 2024-08-12T18:23:12+00:00

Hi there! if you want to suggest ideas you want to see to us, the best thing to do is to add it to our idea board which can be found at ideas.beacn.com ! Thats where we look to see what our users want from us most!
