Note:
 here we go with custom options again. this was previous attempt on an encoding and its pretty good but i think i have to repeat both or one of the middle set of functions just after the blackman set of functions.... itlll probably sound better if i do that but i just want to try this out for now... this is really good. the jlab just shines with this window function set.
