I remember at a point trying this to solve some tightness issues but nonetheless an effort into some of which to try about solving the quality. the gauss functions take the tightness back into phones and it works but its too tight in this encoding in respect to how about how many gauss functions are used. i think its good but it seems the sophistication allows a better answer. so ill keep trying.

here is a lateralus album by tool i ripped recently with FLAC customization using window parameters that were in place for a custom variation i chose myself to give a desired result. its a fresh rip and you can alter window values with different slider values over each conversion as you wish. its a good place to start realizing the intricacy of how flac conversion works for better quality.
