Over in the rec.music.synth there is a discussion regarding the 
hassles of SCMS copy protection currently found on DAT recorders.

Several people have suggested recording everything with a 48k 
sampling rate, then converting it down to 44.1k when mastering 
to a CD.

I was wondering what kind of problems we can expect when we do
this.  I suspect that we will see alaising and missing samples
giving an overall lower quality recording.  I suspect someone
reading this group knows more about this than I.  If that 
someone would shed light on this topic I would appreciate it.

Reply to me directly and I will post a summary, or post directly
to rec.music.synth if you prefer. 

Thanks.
