While humans can't hear higher than 48kHz, the higher sample rates are used for working audio files which might later be resampled or retimed. 48 kHz? Someone

While humans can't hear higher than 48kHz, the higher sample rates are used for working audio files which might later be resampled or retimed. 48 kHz? Someone probably got confused between Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem and the human ear... And someone beat me to it hehe https://github.com/OculusVR/Flicks/issues/2 https://github.com/OculusVR/Flicks/issues/2

>humans can't hear higher than 48kHz Well, it's a true statement! (But yes, I agree)

  Actually not that true, there were some experiments in the 50s that shown that through bone conduction a human could hear up to 100khz. Likewise, babies hear much higher frequencies than the "common" 20khz. sources: * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10848570 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10848570 * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5285336/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5285336/ * http://asa.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1121/1.2761883 http://asa.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1121/1.2761883
