Super-high sample rate could make a difference if you're sampling it and pitching it down heavily to make a bass-line. But in practice, I think most such audio has very little information above 20kHz. Ordinary microphones are designed for audible frequencies, and ultra-sonics are easily lost in production. What music actually contains interesting ultra-sonic information for slowed-down listening?
- TazeTSchnitzel 9y agoIf anything, wouldn't the high sample rate be a liability when trying to shift pitch? If it captures too much outside the range of human hearing, then that ultrasound might suddenly become audible when you change pitch, which could sound weird.
- mrob 9y agoExactly, and the weirdness might be interesting.

- TazeTSchnitzel 9y agoAh, right. And if ultrasound is actually much like regular sound, it may sound perfectly normal.
