As others have said; 24bit/ 44k, and make music and enjoy it. Remember anyone over 40 years old and beyond will not hear anything beyond 8k anyway. And the under 40's will just play stuff on their mobile devices.

Can't say I'd go that far. I can certainly hear way beyond 8K, as can most folks in my age group(over 60). Another reason I use 48K is because most video uses 48K audio(and most stuff I work on ends up on youtube at some point). I will agree with you on no song ever became a hit based on any of this tech stuff, or because of a mic, preamp, console, etc. It starts with a catchy song and a solid(or amazing) performance. The recording/mixing side mostly needs to not ruin it
. I can't even count how many great hits were done with distortion, bad mix choices or outright mistakes
