i tried the last setup after encoding with pazera on linux and i used mid side channel channel mode and i figured this would be the future for my setups with signal functions inside of freac flac encoder options. im not sure if there is complete intradependance within each of the programs but moreso the ffmpeg encoder inside of pazera works over the setup in freac with a nice pre setup for the quality aspect which helps me push my effort forward alittle with a type of thinking going on with setting up the window functions with freac. like i said each program works the quality different moreso i need the window functions with freac to get the quality exactly where i want it. its going to be tough because i dont think libflac has a lot of high reaching quality going on about it where the channels are kind of clicking into some sort of placement, it has mainly the window setup to get to where at least that much can be manipulated. ffmpeg is certainly really useful inside of pazera flac encoder, the quality really is noticeably different....
