Hp Smart touch running as an Jukebox

I recent bought an secondhand HP Smarttouch and i bought it for 1 thing only. (The cost 157 dollar.)


Let me show you all.



I have dreamed for a long time to have an jukebox but in a modern way.
- Use mp3
- Touch screen
- connect to internet
- and so on.

But these things cost more then i feel you should pay for something like that.

But this was my solution to get this.

1. Albumplayer

This program has some different skins

http://www.albumplayer.com/skins.htm


2. Minilyric.

I like to see the jukebox as an karaoke machine 
This you can intergrate into albumplayer so it start with your jukebox.


3. Use portable hard drives on USB. 
4. Hp Smart touch

See review of similar PC as i use


This pc also has an Tv tuner inside

It comes with and remote controll

Kontakt 5 and Fl studio thing i found usefull

I just started to use kontakt 5in Fl studio
( This article i will update from time to time, reason is i want all Fl studio stuff in 1 article)
·•·.·´¯`·.·• ·•·.·´¯`·.·• ·•·.·´¯`·.·• ·•·.·´¯`·.·• ·•·.·´¯`·.·• ·•·.·´¯`·.·• ·•·.·´¯`·.·• ·•·.·´¯`·.·• ·•·.·´¯

Kontakt 5 ,can be used in flstudio but for me it did not work as many video on youtube show.

The problem is that if you have "windows 7,8 or xxx" and use 64 bit system then some strange things happen.

My fl studio is 32 bit and i run win 7 with 64 bit .

So when you install kontakt 5 that is 64 bit onto an flstudio that is 32 bit, then the "sounds"or VST will be installed in the wrong place.

So here is how i installed my VST for Kontakt 5. If you not do it like this then the next step will not show you Kontakt 5 as an instrument in


If you just click without changing to the right VST plugins directory, then Kontakt 5 never come up under channel in Fl  Studio.


So to get kontakt 5 in Fl Studio install like i show above.

a) Then start up Fl studio
b)Go to









c) Then this picture come up. Go to Refresh, Fast scan


























If you have installed Kontakt in the right way, you now should get a new plugin.

"No Library Found" in Kontakt 5

 God this is annoying, but i found a way on youtube. 

Software you need:
 

Notepad++

And watch this video

And the file on this link you also find it under description of that video

Link here

Then as strange it may sound i use winrar as an renamer of files. I show you later.

 What do i need to rename. Well you need to make a wallpaper for every "sound libery "

 And window is a trick thing to rename files. Sometime you rename and still the file have old name at the end.

So if i rename wallpaper.jpg  to wallpaper.png in window.

It will become "wallpaper.jpg.png" and then it will not run in Kontakt 5.

And here is an imported thing. The wallpaper file has to be called wallpaper.png 

So you have a sound that not work. Here is what you missing.

I downloaded so free sounds and got "No Library Found" and by this way all was ok

So you need to make an (name xxxx).nicnt file also an wallpaper file.

A) The nicnt file you make with Notepad++

B) The wallpaper file you can download a picture you like or find the original file to the sound.

To rename the file i use winrar















See here how windows  make the problem
If you rename in Windows to xxx.png it become wallpaper.png.jpg and can not be loaded.
But here is a simple way.  
- Start up winrar 
- "mark" the file go to fil and rename fil
- remove wallpaper.png.jpg to wallpaper.png and we are done



 It will now load in Kontakt 5.

 This can be freeware and software that you bought and you got some problem. And end up with No library found




Make an uplifting beat

After a long time i finally found a way to understand how to make this easy. Maybe if is me, but i find many people hard to understand.




So here is my way to explain this:

You have to use automation clip to do so


So you have a sound that you want to make an uplift in your song.
Let us say some kind of drums.




 Let us choose kick here.

 When i left click onto kick then you get this picture. See the arrow in upper left corner





Click on this arrow and you get this up. Go to assign free mixer track


 What happen is that you send this sound to the mixer. See the gray area in mixer



by the way mixer you find the mixer up here too.I only have a different skin som my fl studio is blue. I show you later how to do this.


 Now.

We want to now build up the beat.

Right click onto the gray area. And you get this picture


 We choose
Link selected channels - To this track


Now we need to choose an effect


You choose it here.



Choose fruity free filter, then this comes up


right click on the knob of Freq

Then a window like this come up.

- Choose create automation clip 





This is our uplifting build up. But we are not done.
We need to make it rise up and make a nice sound

Be aware i take "baby steps" into this.
We still not have made any sound to "build up.That we have to make. By adding a pattern from Kick.


The Video that explain this:




Norton Firewall how to open port to software


Go to:
1. settings (innstillinger)
2.Network (Nettverk)
3.Program rules (Programregler)
4. Find your software and change the rule as you want.

And that is it.
Have a  nice day.

Cool pc game pad

Pc stand with fan of bamboo tree runing on 12 V fan.

Yesterday i got really angry. Where i now am living it is really hot. Sometimes 35 degrees.

And i love to see tv from Norway. But the problem is that my pc get really hot.(See Tv over streaming) Even if i use air condition in the house.

I have bought pc stands like this, but they really suck.


These run on 5 Voltage and they might be used on the North pole. But for normal people this is really crap.

So i found out what i needed to do.

I bought this stand.


Bamboo wood stand. It had an big 5 V fan.

But i took that fan out. 

And used 5 fan that run on 12 V. And with its own power supply.

You find one stand on here. This is like a coffee table 

http://www.amazon.in/AndAlso-Multi-functional-Reading-Internal-Breakfast/dp/B006FZ8VVO

And this is more like the one i bought.

http://www.amazon.com/Macally-ECOFANPRO-Eco-Friendly-Bamboo-Cooling/dp/B002IVWSR2


Then i bought 5 fan that run on 12 V. And i bought a 220 V to 12 V power supply. Must be a power supply that has min 2 Amp or 3 Amp output. 






Then i connected the wire together with a connector list like this.




Then i modified the stand . And now this stand is making my pc work as normal.

The fan blow so hard that my hair got blown back .

I will put out picture later.But now my pc is cool down in the right way.
But just a ting that might be useful for your pc.

Wifi and network card speed problem.

I have a laptop where the network card is broken. So i use an USB network card.

And i found out something other people might need to know.

If your pc deliver to low voltage then the speed on your internet drop.

I use now an USB hub (USB 3) where the hub has its own power supply.And if i put the USB card into the laptop normal USB port, then the speed drops to half of what my network deliver.

From 15 Mb to sometimes 5 Mb.






I have been complaining about speed to my supplier for a long time.
And they measure the speed into my house to over 15 Mb. But today i found the problem.

If you use an hub or using the USB port on your laptop for external card. Then you might have this problem.

The download speed drops because of voltage problem.

After i upgraded to an USB 3 hub with its own power supply then my speed come to this.

Now it is many online so



If you have download speed problem and using external USB WiFi card. Then you might have this problem.

Solution is this:










Make sure that your external wifi card has enough voltage by using an USB hub with it own power supply.
