Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - my sample rate is at 44.1 right now...how does raising the rate change your sound?

My feeling is we are still ending up on cd 16bit 44.1k so I'll stick to 44.1k until things change. Does one sound better?? who cares it ends up on cd then to mp3 at this time. As you know it all gets squished to hell in mastering so I guarantee you will not hear a difference and your DAW recources will drop considerably. Specs are just that specs there where and still are many records made at lower bit and sample rates and are wonderful, made by talented people. If your mixes are not up to snuff to your ears at 44.1k study and practice more it is not the sample rate.
