Let's say John is making a song.
John records all his instruments.
He sits a chimpanzee in front of the computer to do the mixing and mastering.
Great! The song is complete! But wait, should he save space by delivering in 48kHz?
John doesn't see many ultrasonic frequencies in the song. Did the chimp do something? No, it's just the nature of the song.
Should he deliver in 96kHz or 48kHz? Pretend the original recording format is some random crazy high arbitrary value or take the original recording format out of the equation.
