Note:
 i went back to original set and added rectangle before 2 window functions and then the original hamming with triangle following to the rest of the original functions. this is a good set of functions for encoding but i havent tried flipping the triangle and rectangle functions or trying to rearrange the others... i listened to the first grudge.flac song after this set and it sounded good but it need a finer touch but the rectangle and triangle functions really put the phones in gear alot! woo hoo
