With my own music, I've never been mixing and thought to myself, "ya know, this sounds great and all but I'm getting some aliasing from those cymbals thats really messing things up." Its just never happened to me.
Now this is something I notice in different synthesizers. But when it comes to recording, I've never really ran into that problem.

this is just cos you can't hear difference between an aliasing artifact and digital noise... but digital noise produced by bit and by aliasing are different... maybe you should record some classical music then you'll hear that not only the bit rate is important but the frequency too. As saied before maybe this depends on the music stile you're recording.
