    Guys, after so much hype, what is the best frequency to work with rap? They say that 48 has less reflection in saturators

    You can work with anything, oversampling exists for that reason. That said, I see no reason to not work in at least 24bit 48kHz. Anything higher might be harder to mix if you use a lot of plugins, but having that limitation is also positive because it makes you juice the most out of your tools.

    Yes, 48kHz has a little less foldover/aliasing. I record in 48K and oversample when needed. When mastering I capture (my hybrid chain) at 96k.

    For production projects I generally stay at 96Khz/32bf. I have been finding though that for restoration stuff (vinyl LP's) that higher sample rates tend to make finding those pesky ticks and pops (manually, because the noise removal plugs aren't perfect) a lot more difficult. So I have been experimenting recording those at lower sample rates like 44k/32bf and/or 48k/32bf.
