About Song sample rates:
mixing down through a digital mixer will
multitrack at 44.1 kHz so they can digitally
mix for CD release without having to go
through sample-rate conversion at mastering.
Those with analog mixers typically use 48

equipment capable of it and are willing to
deal with the tradeoffs (see page 65), you
may use 88.2 kHz (which is still compatible
with CDs) or 96 kHz.
