Sampling Rates

Forgive me if this is a subject thats been heavily discussed before, but is there an advantage to recording with the sampling rate set at 88200 or 96000 over the standard 44100?
 
I realize that the space involved increases.
 
Regards

    This subject gets beaten to death in pretty much every audio forum that exists.

    Search for previous posts on the subject.  Try different sample rates and see what you think.

    On a side note, lots of hit songs have been made on digital and analog equipment that sounds much worse than what we routinely use now.

    The advantage is that the Nyquist frequency is raised. That raises the overall bandwidth you can record (albeit beyond audibility) and reduces aliasing from poorly-designed limiters. It also reduces latency during recording.



    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
