I love psychedelic rock like Pink Floyd but I’m curious if I can make it sound better?
An effects processor with some reverb, flanger, and phaser.
This is the way. There are some vintage processors that have all kinds of spatial effects. Not to my liking, but I think that’s what the OP is looking for.
And crazy display!
Plus 1 for drugs
I’d you’re rocking a home theater setup YouTubing AI visualizers is a great add!
I like to fire this up on the living room PC every time I’m jamming some tunes:
I miss listening to cd’s on my ps1 and using it’s built in audio visualizer
- use the best source you can, whether it is analog based (turntable/arm/cartridge) or digital, invest in a really good DAC
- get a really good amplifier, preamp and power amp, not some cheap AV receiver - Ill cop flak for that, but there is no way an AV receiver can compare to a high end preamp, Krell, ARC, Klyne, ML.
- Get bigger and better speakers, small bookshelf size even with a sub can only do so much.
- set your speakers up properly, not 1m apart, not in a corner, not facing different directions.
- turn the lights off and enjoy
Pick up a reverb amp.
More grateful dead and tipper helps
I’m not sure what you mean. The is nothing inherently psychedelic about high fidelity sound. In fact much so-called psychedelic music employed all kind of effects (Fuzz, wha-wha, reverb, ring modulator, etc.) to alter the sound of various instruments, introduce odd samples, and otherwise stretch your imagination and surprise you with novelty.
If you have the skill, you could remix an existing tune and alter it yourself to make it sound more psychedelic. But there is no simple parameter that can be adjusted or equipment upgrade that will to do this for you.
In my experience, all music can sound psychedelic when you are actually tripping, whereas there is music specifically designed to mimic some of the sonic altercations one might experience while high. I recommend listening psy-trance artists like Shpongle and Infected Mushroom.
At night with lights off
Yeah, drop some acid… 💊🤯
Let’s start with this. How are you listening to it now? Need to know what you’re working with first.
Incense and Peppermints?
You got the two best answers. Which tube amp & which drugs is definitely subjective though. Good luck!
Decware or Wellington if you’re not willing to wait… shrooms
LSD
I don’t think I’ve ever heard Pink Floyd referred to as psychedelic rock. Jimi Hendrix, yes, Pink Floyd, not so much.
Dude. How high are you right now?
If you Google Pink Floyd the first result is a snippet of their Wikipedia article that says they are psychedelic and rock lol…
Increase treble, add more speakers to make it quadraphonic
