Although the nskit was created with samples, at some point in time those samples were captured or recorded in the same way that you are planning to do.
Speaking of ns_kit, I got a reply from Douglas awhile ago and it's looking like we may well be able to do up an "official" Doggiebox ns_kit! It's mainlly an issue of how to package and distribute the kit so that it reasonably stands on its own and does not appear as a "gimmick" to sell Doggiebox. I've since replied and am still waiting to hear back from him.
I would not go with less than 16 bit files. I use 32 bit float export when coming "out" of Doggiebox, but the original samples are 16 bit.
I was going to say what's the point in exporting 32-bit if the source is 16, but of course since the internal mixing is all happening in 32, you probably are preserving more quality that way. I've been exporting in 16, then importing into Audiodesk which converts it up to 24. During the final mixdown it goes back to 16. I hadn't really thought it through but I suppose there's a bit of room for unnecessarily stripping quality off the drums this way. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
