Audio sampling rate demonstration (snare hits)
This video demonstrates how the sampling rate affects audio. Just the initial snare hits of a song are played first with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, then 22.05 kHz, and finally 11.025 kHz. The maximum frequency in each example—known as the Nyquist Frequency—is half of the sampling rate. [Special thanks to Phil Calvert for creating the original audio examples]
