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.

any advantage to recording at a higher sample rate?
My sound card, an Audiophile 24/96, allows much higher
sample rates and my hard drive is big enough to store the
resulting files, I think, but what purpose would it serve when
in the end, an audio CD is only good for 44100 ?
I'd have to convert down just to be able to burn the final
product onto CD anyway.
There must be some advantage to recording at a sample rate
above 44100. Could someone tell me what it is?
