Re: [linux-audio-user] sample rate question

If you only want to record something once and play it back on CDs,
44.1 k is fine.
If you have any plans to timestretch anything, or loop samples at
different pitches, or do any touchy kind of production, it might be
better to work at the higher rate.
I also can't help thinking that digital filters in general will make
some difference if run at a higher rate and then downsampled.
