\"Publisher: TBA\"

Apparently the publisher backed out. IIRC, Zach said they planned to release the PC version first then other platforms later, but the publisher wanted all versions released at the same time. Maybe they just couldn't pull it off. Core Decision could be history.

The audio source is a Boss GT8 effects processor. I have the spdif output level maxed on it. Since this and the record level are maxed, I'm thinking something must be wrong.

I'm getting some level but I'm afraid it might not be high enough to make an optimal recording.
