Groundbreaking artist Kamasi Washington’s highly anticipated second album Heaven and Earth set via Young Turks. The long-awaited follow up to Washington’s debut The Epic, Heaven and Earth is comprised of two halves, which find Washington confronting quotidian realities with cosmic themes. A further investigation of Washington’s world building ideas, the new album explores his reckoning with current global chaos and his vision for the future. Washington convened his band, The Next Step, as well as members of the long running collective The West Coast Get Down at Henson Studios in Los Angeles to record the 16 tracks on Heaven and Earth. The music was composed, written and arranged by Washington, with new arrangements of jazz and bebop legend Freddie Hubbard’s Hubtones and iconic kung fu film theme Fists of Fury, as well as one song by bandmate Ryan Porter. Thundercat, Terrace Martin, Ronald Bruner, Jr., Cameron Graves, Brandon Coleman, Miles Mosley, Patrice Quinn, Tony Austin and many more contribute to the album. Heaven and Earth is over two and a half hours of music.

“The world that my mind lives in, lives in my mind.” This idea inspired me to make this album Heaven and Earth. The reality we experience is a mere creation of our consciousness, but our consciousness creates this reality based on those very same experiences. We are simultaneously the creators of our personal universe and creations of our personal universe. The Earth side of this album represents the world as I see it outwardly, the world that I am a part of. The Heaven side of this album represents the world as I see it inwardly, the world that is a part of me. Who I am and the choices I make lie somewhere in between.” Kamasi Washington

o Recording:

• Recording:
Pro-Ject Phono Box RS –> connected with a Steinberg UR22 –> connected via USB to a WIN10 Personal Computer (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz) –> Recording Software: iZotope RX3
• Microphone cable: XLR (female) - 6.3 mono jack

• Monitor/Headphone: SONY WH-1000XM3 - OVER EAR



o Software / Treatment /Tagging
This is what I do in general. Not every step is done for all my rips – sometimes an anomaly is undetectable, or all my attempts fail … then it is not processed - otherwise as mentioned below:
o Clickrepair
• Light de-Clicking, significant clicks/anomalies manually removing
• De-Noising: no
• @ Level: 30 (YES!) I decide if it will be repaired or not! 100% handmade! Nothing is processed automatically;
• heavy clicks / anomalies, mark the region, copy in a new (iZotope RX Advanced) temp-file.
Open in Clickrepair (every option off) and let it run until the click/part and repair/removing manually
(Clickrepair is able to calculate the possible groove running, try out how it most fits …)
o iZotope RX Advanced
• manual click/anomalies removal – very carefully (if necessary) / various settings (mine)
Clicks - Algorithm: Single-band, Click type: Click, Sensitivity: 1.2, Click widening [ms]: 0.0

Decrackle (only gap, Lead-in, Lead-out)* - • Quality: High, Amplitude skew: 9.0

Clicks (only gap, Lead-in, Lead-out)* - • Algorithm: Single-band, Click type:
Click, Sensitivity: 9, Click widening [ms]: 0.0

Clicks/pops - • Algorithm: M-Band (random clicks), Click type:
Discontinuity, Sensitivity: 5, Click widening [ms]: 4.0

• Algorithm: M-Band (random clicks), Click type:
Custom, Sensitivity: 5, Click widening [ms]: 2.0

Thumps - • Algorithm: M-Band (random clicks), Click type:
Thump, Sensitivity: 4, Frequency skew: -5.0, Click widening [ms]: 0.0

Denoise - (only gap, Lead-in, Lead-out)* • "Reduce only tonal noise or hum" with my own settings:
Threshold: 0,0 - Reduction: (Noisy: 0,0 - Tonal 12,0)
Quality: D (Best) - Artifact control: 7,0
Select the area with the "Time-frequency selection tool [R]) and set the frequency range from 0 - 250 Hz (Start: 0 End: 250)
Click "Learn", ignore the message "Noise profile is not …" and click "Process"
(my personal experience (I've spent a couple of hours on it):
some pops and thumbs are eliminated and the best … it sounds a bit better, deeper, less rumble, more stable;
please note that these are my experiences, others may have different experiences.)

Hum - (only gap, Lead-in, Lead-out)* • Base frequency 50 Hz(Germany), Filter Q: 97,7, 1 harmonics, Harmonic gains [dB]: -45.0, Filter DC-offset: yes
• Select the area with the "Time-frequency selection tool [R]) and set the frequency range from 0 - 15 Hz (Start: 0 End: 15) and deleted

Gain (YES) - Normalize - Target peak level: -0.53 dBFS (the best solution in my opinion)

• split into individual tracks

• A final listening of each track is mandatory

* NO SIGNAL will be harmed!
