[16:23] <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
[16:24] <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
[16:25] <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??
[16:26] <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
[16:27] <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)
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <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
[16:30] <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.
[16:31] <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?
[16:32] <holstein> you cant do that in openoffice?
[16:32] <holstein> have an audio file loop til the next slide??
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <holstein> and add whatever software i want from studio, or convert it to studio with...
[20:23] <holstein> !vanilla
[20:23] <holstein> also... there is..
[20:24] <holstein> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio/+bug/697774
[20:24] <holstein> ^^ a bug you should add yourself to, with a few suggestions on how to install ubuntustudio from USB
[20:26] <holstein> Philzli: the very latest daily images are hybrid
[20:27] <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] <holstein> 11.10
[20:27] <Philzli> I don't think that this is a good Ide
[20:27] <Philzli> a
[20:28] <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
[20:33] <Philzli_> browser crashed
[20:34] <Philzli_> are there no usb-images?
[20:35] <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
[20:36] <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 :)
[21:49] <Mr_D> hey
[22:02] <holstein> Mr_D: o/
