Music sounds worse on LSD

I really want to enjoy music the way I have on shrooms, but even on 200ug it just seems... Flat to me. It's like someone flattened all of the pieces of the song and pressed it into a 2d painting, it's really boring. Anyone else feel this way on LSD?

What are you listening through?

Audio Technica ath-m50x | I listened to music ranging from symphonies to hip hop and it all seemed dull. Very strange, wish I could enjoy music on LSD.

Do you use an equalizer? I'd definitely recommend using one if you don't already. Music has so much more depth when I'm tripping, but if I turn off my eq the magic goes away.

Tweak your freqs. Spend time building an eq curve to your aural preference. Don't be a slave to the frequency response of your cans. Find the eq curve with the best flavor. Everyone has their own taste.

Thank you so much! I think this is what I need to do, I'm listening through studio monitors with a flat feedback, more EQ should be awesome. I'm also going to try it in my car! Thanks.

I do not feel this way, in fact I feel the opposite of this.

Nbome had that effect on me but LSD never did. Music sounded really beautiful actually.

I'm not one to devalue the experiences of another on the basis of my own, and that's not to say there can't be a consensus. I've yet to try psychedelics but even from one experience to another, smoking weed, music can sound boring and flat as you've described or the complete opposite. The former is obviously rarer for me.

I thought the same thing, so I didn't post till I had plenty of trips under my belt.
