Yes choose the final sample rate at the record time. avoid oversampling if
you can. If you already have the tracks recorded at 44.1k, I think
oversampling as a final step rather than on the tracks makes sense, but I
could be wrong. If you have all single tracks (not stereo) it may be
better to oversample first before you make stereo images.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?
