| vlt | Hello. I'm looking for a (gui) program that can playback music files, does (editable) cross-fade when I skip to the next track and can trigger shell commands (to show slides of an OpenOffice presentation) at certain music positions. Any idea? | 16:23 |
|---|---|---|
| vlt | ... or CLI | 16:23 |
| vlt | (maybe something like moc) | 16:24 |
| holstein | wow... not sure about triggering shell commands | 16:24 |
| holstein | you might just want to start from scratch | 16:24 |
| holstein | or, have some shell scripts that play the file, and trigger the slides | 16:25 |
| vlt | If it doesn't have to be an OpenOffice presentation but any kind of images ... What would you take for this task? | 16:25 |
| holstein | me personally?? | 16:25 |
| vlt | You studio guys ;-) | 16:26 |
| holstein | i would just click on the damn thing when i want the slide to move ;) | 16:26 |
| holstein | vlt: maybe try #ubuntu-beginners or #opensourcemusicians | 16:26 |
| holstein | maybe a graphics channel... thats a pretty specific need, and im pretty sure theres nothing already around for that | 16:27 |
| holstein | totally do-able though | 16:27 |
| vlt | All I have is a foot pedal to trigger the next track. I need crossfades and slides matching the audio (maybe from an OopenOffice presentation triggered by xdotool shell commands) | 16:27 |
| holstein | the way most folks do that is to just go ahead and make a final product | 16:28 |
| vlt | holstein: Ok, if there's nothing out of the boy I could use I'll try to do some moc output parsing and shell command magic ... | 16:28 |
| holstein | especially if its something that is static, and doesnt *need* to change each time | 16:28 |
| holstein | just make a video project out of the whole thing | 16:29 |
| vlt | holstein: Yes, it's quite static. What would a "final product" look like then? | 16:29 |
| holstein | vlt: the final product would look however you want it to | 16:29 |
| vlt | holstein: Aah, ok, a whole video, I see. | 16:29 |
| holstein | it would just be something you would hit play on | 16:29 |
| holstein | instead of something that rolls along triggering | 16:29 |
| holstein | could be a video | 16:29 |
| holstein | could be a flash project | 16:29 |
| holstein | could be anything really | 16:30 |
| vlt | But I still need the crossfades :-( hmmmmm | 16:30 |
| holstein | sure | 16:30 |
| holstein | you do that while you are editing | 16:30 |
| holstein | thats the easyiest part | 16:30 |
| holstein | you can do crossfades in *any* DAW | 16:30 |
| vlt | holstein: The crossfades are the only parts that aren't static. | 16:30 |
| holstein | yeah... not sure then | 16:31 |
| holstein | i think most folks just have a final product that is static | 16:31 |
| vlt | holstein: Ok, thank you. I'll try to find a solution. | 16:31 |
| holstein | if thats not the case... im not sure | 16:31 |
| holstein | maybe one of the presentation suites? | 16:31 |
| holstein | dont we have that? | 16:31 |
| holstein | you cant do that in openoffice? | 16:32 |
| holstein | have an audio file loop til the next slide?? | 16:32 |
| Philzli | Hi | 20:21 |
| holstein | hey Philzli | 20:21 |
| Philzli | is there a way to install ubuntu from a usb stick? Maybe using dd? I am not on Ubuntu | 20:21 |
| Philzli | *studio* | 20:22 |
| holstein | sure... | 20:22 |
| holstein | Philzli: the easy way, and the way i preffer is to use the normal ubuntu live CD | 20:22 |
| holstein | with unetbootin | 20:22 |
| holstein | and add whatever software i want from studio, or convert it to studio with... | 20:23 |
| holstein | !vanilla | 20:23 |
| ubottu | To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation | 20:23 |
| holstein | also... there is.. | 20:23 |
| holstein | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio/+bug/697774 | 20:24 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 697774 in Ubuntu Studio "cant install ubuntustudio from USB stick" [Undecided,New] | 20:24 |
| holstein | ^^ a bug you should add yourself to, with a few suggestions on how to install ubuntustudio from USB | 20:24 |
| holstein | Philzli: the very latest daily images are hybrid | 20:26 |
| holstein | at least, i think that has already happened | 20:27 |
| holstein | if not, its planned for this cycle | 20:27 |
| Philzli | You mean i can dd them? | 20:27 |
| holstein | the normal ubuntu live CD images will be hybrid | 20:27 |
| holstein | Philzli: yup | 20:27 |
| holstein | BUT, again, thats the daily alpha images | 20:27 |

| Philzli | I don't think that this is a good Ide | 20:27 |
| Philzli | a | 20:27 |
| holstein | http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Ubuntu-11-10-ISOs-to-be-hybrid-CD-USB-images-1261923.html | 20:28 |
| holstein | yeah.. that started on june 16th | 20:28 |
| Philzli_ | browser crashed | 20:33 |
| Philzli_ | are there no usb-images? | 20:34 |
| holstein | Philzli_: well, the new ones are hybird | 20:35 |
| holstein | but no | 20:35 |
| holstein | you make USB media with the ubuntu tool | 20:35 |
| holstein | OR with unetbootin *which i my preffered tool | 20:35 |
| holstein | i mean, its ubuntu, so its all open and free... you can make whatever image you want anytime | 20:36 |
| holstein | anyways.. i gotta run... see #opensourcemusicians if you need help :) | 20:36 |
