Wtf is a PRS
Anyone ever use that site, or do any collaborations with people on it before.
Just kinda stumbled on it and its seems like a decent community.

I use it. Very cool site, and I've 'met' some great people from all over the globe. However, I am also dumber than a bag of hammers, so I make a ton of mistakes on other people's songs. Thankfully, no one has had me barred from kompoz yet. 
I've taken bed tracks from people with no click, and no click I try on my end seems to line up. I've taken tracks that the person swears is in E but I get F# no matter how hard I try to get E out of it. I am starting to think it's all in how they recorded and no one tells me their sample rate. I may be wrong, but if I use 44.1KHz and they use 48KHz, as an example, maybe that throws a monkey wrench into everything? 
Regardless, the songs that did work out for a click and key; I had a blast, and I think the final 'product' turned out great.
In a nutshell, you join for free. You can pay, but all you get as an 'extra' is more choices for upload/download formats, and someone somewhere at kompoz (I have no idea who, how, or where) hawks your final product for placement. I've been doing the freebie for a while, and as I say, there's some great songs up there, and you can add whatever instrumentation you feel like doing. Or sometimes I just remix someone's song. You're only limited by your 'studio' and your imagination. And it's not all high-end studio recordings, either. I've heard some lo-fi recordings, and some with distorting bass and some with out of tune guitars! It's still all good, and a great learning experience. I say go for it.

44.1Khz vs 48Khz puts a "monkey wrench" into the KEY of a piece?
Hmmm.I could be wrong on this, but, my memoory is telling me that the higher the sampling rate (more Khz), the higher frequency can be recorded on it.
If you "downsample" from a much higher hz rating, to a lower one, its effectively like applying a digital low-pass filter with no knee or parametric to it, its below a certain Frequency, governed by the Khz bandwidth... its cut digitally out...
but I could be wrong about that... but my memry s tickling me that its "half" rule... that you need to record at 48khz, to record a 24khz maximum frequency tone? such that is you record at 44.1, you are limiting your highest possibke frequency tone in the track to be 22.05khz...
but I'd check with a "pro", i'm just a hobbyist going by memory on that... i cant picture a pieces key being affected (or even an individual note?) being "changed" somehow by bandwidth... I mean, you could lose some overtones way up, or some higher order distortion, or "air" from the high freqs, but nothing that woul change a note or key?
but do ask a pro to chime in, see if my "trivia answer" is correct...

It made no sense to me, but it was a weird idea that had a .000001% chance of being correct. I was grasping at straws. But still, kompoz is fun, there's a ton of great songs up there, or you can put your songs up for someone to add vocals or whatever instrument you can't handle yourself at home.
