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 think this is trickier than it sounds. How can an ns_kit.dbkit file "stand on it's own". I don't think it can since you can't use it without Doggiebox. They're intimately linked. I'm sure there's a solution, but it's not really obvious.
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 export as 32 bit float since that's the default working format with Cubase. Why not keep it the same? If I don't, Cubase goes out of it's way to "convert" the bit rate.
