My dad was just diagnosed with metastatic cancer, what is the best way to preserve and store his music? Also wondering if anyone has any ideas for an in bed setup.
My dad has been creating various forms of music for over three decades. He seems to enjoy creating instrumentals and remixes the most. Tons of old school R&B and hiphop. This is one of the biggest memories I have of him, so I would like to save as much as I can, including small samples and plugins he created. I’ve played around with his music for fun before, and would still like that option later on. I also enjoy listening to it, it’s my childhood. Nothing’s really organized on his computer and it’s also outdated. How would you guys go about safely storing such things? His most used platforms are Acid Music Studio, MPC, and Ableton. The music is stored all over his computer. He had an external hard drive with music years ago.. it damaged and I worry that the same result may happen to me later on. Could never find someone who could fix it.
Additionally, I’m wondering if anyone here has had a in bed setup? He hasn’t been able to spend time in his studio due to discomfort, but I’ve been wanting to do a makeshift setup that he could have a decent experience with in bed without hindering sound quality. I’ve only thought of integrating his MPK mini into this concept. What else am I missing?
Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
