DNLS v0.01a (LSD substitute)

This preset is an amateur's attempt to reproduce the effects of LSD through brainwave entrainment. This might not work for everyone, and I have found it can cause slight ear pain if you turn it up too loud.

This is my attempt to learn more about the workings of the brain and the effect of LSD. You probably should not use this without first studying the effects of LSD, and the possible consequences of the specific frequencies involved in this preset. By playing this BrainWave Generator preset, you agree to take full responsibility for any negative consequences it may pose to you.

This preset is designed to trigger areas of the brain in the order that they are triggered by actual LSD. Each voice is a seperate part of the body (virtually all of which are parts of the brain) The "LSD frequency" of 20.215 hz is also present throughout. The white noise is present to enhance the effect of the binaural beats.

I've never used LSD, but listening to this made me see things... big time. I thought my computer was melting and I saw the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel hanging in the sky over my house.

I'm almost too freaked out to listen to it all the way through, so I submit it for your perusal. If anyone upgrades it, please send me a copy.

Have fun, and be careful with it... VERY careful.

Sitting upright in my chair. I forgot to mention that I was greatly afftected by caffeine intoxication at the time, and my mind was racing. I also have noted a few minor personality changes since using this entrainment. (with caffeine) Whether or not it was merely a placebo effect mixed with the coffee, I can't say.

18-Jun-2003, (unknown)

Hmmmmm Mule did much in the way of LSD, and never saw no sistine chapel, but I did know the answers once..... (Pity I forgot them almost as quick as I learned em)

21-Jun-2003, Boricua

someone else write their comments on this. Delerious I have some questions. Did you have your eyes closed when you tried this? How long did it take? Did the affects and hallucinations contiue AFTER you stopped listening to it? How long did it take for the effects to wear off? Is there something you can do if you want the effects to stop? And finally, does this work for you when you are NOT intoxicated by caffeine?

21-Jun-2003, (unknown)

also, can you read things and typing things while you are listening to this? I have been listening to this for about 26 minutes while reading and typing stuff. I have no visualizations. but I do have some dizziness and I feel a little weird. But no spiral sensations or visualtions. The visualizations is what I really want. I think someone should make a shroomz or acid alternative that makes you trip. That would be really nice! Welp, Im almost at the end of this thing...... ill let you know if I get some visualtions.

21-Jun-2003, (unknown)

nope, it hasnt worked for me. Ill try it another time when i have nothing to do and Ill just lie down or something while listening to it. Maybe it will enhance it. Man I really want to acheive those hallucinations.

22-Jun-2003, Boricua

ok I tried this a second time and it still did not work. Only felt a little weird but no hallucinations. Man it must have been that coffee you drank.

01-Jul-2003, pascalsimons

Well....It a nice preset....But I didn' t notice any changes taking place... It was sort of relaxing.... No visions though. I don't think thats even remotely possible by just using the brainwave generator. You'll still need drugs for that ! (not that i'm using any....)

02-Jul-2003, pascalsimons

I've tried the preset again.........but nothing happened..... such a pity! I really would have liked to see the "the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel hanging in the sky over my house." perhaps you could tell us what kind of coffee you were drinking???

07-Jul-2003, Isn't this such a very very very very very very very very very very very very very lonnnng name

8.3hz can be used to cause mental visualizations to look real. By the way, there might be a slight correlation between a frequency and the frequency that's 10x it, or a tenth of it. For instance, 6.3hz is astral&mental projections, 63hz is astral projection. 7hz is astral projection; 70hz is astral projection. What about 8.3hz and 83hz? 83hz=Third Eye Opening, 8.3hz=mental objects look real; third eye opening may open the brain's senses to the astral plane, which is where all imagined things happen or are present. During dreaming, the astral body (part of your consciousness) goes there, and is mostly conscious of its surroundings. There might be a correlation. 8.3hz will make your appropriate fantasies come to life

31-Jul-2003, Tried This Preset Twice

I had a slight headache that resulted during both trials but I felt extremely relaxed, It felt like I was wearing a lead jacket. I was amazed by the sensation it was difficult to raise my arms. Beathing was slightly more difficult, like when you are in the bathtub and water is over you chest it takes slightly more effort becuase of the weight of the water. I did not have any effects on my visual perception even though I was trying to will visual hallucinations.

05-Aug-2003, Andrej

I tried this preset.(and also LSD.bwg) It realy was LSD effect, but more less than real LSD. (probably same if eat a small part of the real stamp) All around was bright, sated colours, such hallucinations as floating subjects, black points on a table, light stains. Mental condition is very strange, unusual. The world around is perfect!

05-Aug-2003, Damige

T0:00 Packed a bowl of cannibus and smoked. T0:10 I loaded up bwgen.exe and played this preset. Put on my headphones and sat, lounched back on a comfortable rocking chair. I set my timer to 15 minutes. T:015 I started to see slight vibrations in my vision and a it becomes more difficult to determine depths. NO trails at all. T0:25 Took off the headphones when the timer dinged. The experience didn't ever get any more intense.

24-Sep-2003, James Lewis

Tried this preset. 2 minutes in I saw a red spark come off my finger, 3 mins in my body feel very strange. Closed my eyes looking for Closed Eye Visuals, everything is sparkly. It's very psychedlic, reminds me of my DXM trip last week. Yes thats right I do legal pyschedelic drugs. Btw, e-mail me for more info on DXM.

30-Oct-2003, pp

dxm is sweet about to try this on dxm

09-Nov-2003, tonton

I am interested in brainwave entrainment to affect the tryptamines in the brain. Tryptamine is a naturally occuring chemical in the brain which is also responsible for the hallucinations produced by Psilocybin Mushrooms (4-N,N Phosphoxy Dimethyltryptamine) and DMT snuff (as well as the Ayahuasca brew) The only information I have found regarding any relation of brainwave frequency to tryptamines has been 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) from the files section of the bwgen yahoo group. Any information would be helpful as I am investigating a possible replacement to DMT containing hallucinogens which is a catalyst to shamanic work.

16-Nov-2003, Pete

Don't seem to work for me... sorry! Don't think this is possible....

24-Nov-2003, pp

bwahhh i tried this on T+00 354mg DXM, T+6:00 354mg DXM, T+12:00 354mg DXM then used the preset at T+12:40 and o damn, i closed my eyes and just sat there. i felt strange 'rollers' on my back and saw pretty designs flying across the darkness. i got in trouble that night but o well. the preset+DXM is good. forgive the crude nature of my post as i am under the influence of some nice bud right now. i'm also listening to the preset. seems different than a regular weed high for sure. i hear some laser guns firing (that's as best as i can describe it) but it's not like they're with me. they're in the preset, and they're not very obvious. it's like they're firing really fast (30 times a second or so) i've got some static in my vision. the hardwood floor looks as if it's shifting. i know it isn't and i can't actually see it shifting but once in a while i get the perception that it is (without seeing it happen, sort of). the tall green plant in the room also has some movement along the leaves. my dog has a slight aura or something. it's not a color though, it's more of static type stuff. i'm out. lateatatrer

03-Jan-2004, peter pantsless

im doing it with some cannibis now.. how long are the stages that take place?..i mean.. after how long did you start tripping out, delerius?? we need to know.... and did you listen to it really loud..

28-Jan-2004, Dr. Nick

Hello Everybody! I've been hearing this preset for ~30minutes, and I got some results. It's VERY far from the effects and power of our problem child (LSD-25). It's like having a really low dose of acid, 'bout an eigth of a stamp or less. If you can increase this preset potency by 1000 you may get close to an acid. Anyway it's the best LSD-like preset around. Best Regards and Goodbye Everybody! Dr. Nick

05-Feb-2004, mind odyssey

Tried this about half a dozen times for about 15 minutes each over the past week and haven't gotten anything from it other than a headache.

23-Feb-2004, Gobla

Tried it for 30 minutes by now. Never used LSD. Currently not under influence of any kind. Slight dizzyness, objects seem to drop out, or in its backgroud (e.g. a painting in the wall falling into it), no effect on thinking, hard to breathe, little bit of itchiness around my skin, relaxed, tired, cant sit still, a bit of pain in the back of my troath. Not bad at all, but it aint something to be very exited of, grab about 10 beer, and you 'll feel better. Sorry for my poor Enlish.

18-Mar-2004, g1itch

Well, my eyes watered, dont know why- have kind of a feeling of confusion.... kind of soothing- no visons no feelings really... kind of interesting none the less

04-Apr-2004, Steve H

This is nothing like the intensity of LSD. After listening to it for 40 mins there have been no real hallucinations, I have had the occasional disturbance of vision and an inability to perceive depth and space properly; also after images and halos around objects when I look at them for long enough. I would liken this more to the effects of cannabis, I have noticed increased heart rate, minor thought and perceptual disturbances and on looking in the mirror my pupils appear to be more dilated than usual. I did experience a certain amount of anxiety from using this, a kind of butterflies in the stomach sensation and a jumpiness/hypersensitivity to sudden noises or visual disturbances. After 20 minutes my screensaver came on and it did make me suddenly fearful but I could control all elements of anxiety quite easily. Right now my vision is hazy and I have a feeling of some pins and needles on the top of the head which I have always experienced when smoking hash or weed, like I say though this is nothing compared to the head mashing consequences of double dropping acid in chaotic surroundings smack in the middle of the city (an experience I'd definitely prefer to forget!). Nice effect though and at times quite pleasant & relaxing once I got used to that feeling again since I haven't used drugs for several years now; I don't trust the purity of illegal substances.

10-May-2004, Frater Pan

This preset is totally cool. I need to try it again to give a more complete review, but I see potential here. I went into a hypnogogic state, had a few random, and instantly forgotten visions, and I think fell asleep. I felt a bit odd the rest of the night. I think I need more practice with this preset, as I can see the potential for intense experences (provided the listener doesn't fall asleep as I had)

01-Jun-2004, Natalie

One important thing: it really works, it just begs to be given a try. Nothing spectacular, but still, quite out of the ordinary. Objects glowed in pink, there were some disturbances of eyesight, difficult to focus (even now my vision is blurry), some anxiety and racing heartbeat, sore and watering eyes, occasional blobs and stains on textiles. My advice is to keep your eyeballs still, focused on one vividly coloured object, contrasting with the background. You'll eventually notice halos and some very slight visual disturbances. Have fun.

29-Jul-2004, Nathan

This didnt effect me, just listened to it for nine mintues (seemed like one though) and Nothing noticable happened. So I decided to turn off an listen to some music, and it turns out the music sounds a hell lot better than normal!! I have to say I am starting to notice some funny feelings. hehe

17-Oct-2004, Max

i was thinking brainwave cant really works but i've try this one, im trying it right now men, i drank a couple of beer and thats make me really weird with that like i was rolling backward(that not the alchool effect, im not 15 ;) ) weird feeling and make me a little bit affraid of everything you can do with that...

25-Oct-2004, James

I dont have the ablilty to load the preset can someone tlel me how to set it up manually

17-Nov-2004, slabbius

Listened to it for about 15 minutes while staring at a black monitor in a dark room. turned on the monitor and icons were warping, shifting, and the dimensions were out of whack... kind of like I had 3d glasses on and looking at a 3d picture. after listening to this i noticed a distinct warbling/alien like sounds that made me paranoid for a short time. Don't know if it was from BWGen or from this preset, but I am still noticing things jerking around in my peripheral vision and my neon lights are changing from red to yellowish color and this is approx 7 minutes after listening. This is weird stuff

23-Dec-2004, ratfink

I listened to this for 30 minutes in a semi-dark room while laying on the bed. I burned the preset to a cd and listened on a walkman at about 7-8 volume. I stared at various objects in the room and let my eyes and body relax. Incidences of visual abberations were slight at first, but as the sounds ramped up, certain sensations became more pronounced. At about the 15 minute mark, the posters on my wall started to blur, the colors and shapes mixing onto one another and the posters started to move in small circles. My heart rate had slowed considerably and I noticed things in my peripheral moving when they shouldn't. At about the 20 minute mark, I felt a considerable rush through my entire body about three or four times. The visuals were constant, but still very subdued. My breathing was shallow and moving my body was intensely pleasureable. All in all, a very interesting experience. I wouldn't say it was equivalent to acid, but more like a short ecstacy trip. It was definitely something, what, I think, depends on the induvidual.

22-Jan-2005, rolla

i'm listening now, my head has started to fell very heavy, my body is hard to lift. thats about all i've experianced so far (20 min) i'll keep going until something happens i guess. Did you guys use the visual thing in bwgen? does it work? I read somewhere that the brain responds like 40% more to visual or something...?

09-Feb-2005, Timothy

Hmm... looks like this shouldn't be too hard to fix... but why would I want to make it work? A word of wasrning when playing with high Theta tones... Do your research. I sucesfully created a Brainwave Entrainment program that needs to be listened to for one hour, and after which you have total control of the emotion of happiness. It works with the pineal gland, whose function is to convert melatonin to seratonin. Seratonin is the chemical equivilant of happiness. Melatonin is the chemical that regulates sleeping patterns. I don't exactly sleep properly at this point. Although I do have total control over my happiness, unless I apply too much seratonin to my brain, at which point I experience heavy downtime, and cannot feel happiness at all. Paradoxially, not only do I have to ration happiness in itself, but if I do not regulate how happy I am at specific times, I cannot sleep normally. Might I add, I have not found the proper balance to sleeping normally in the last 4 months, and it is doing terrible things to my health. My long and drawn out point is this: Do your research on every tone and what it effects. I doubt anyone will discover how to intensify BWE on this level, and I hope they don't, at least until high theta waves are regulated in some way so that people without proper education cannot use them, but every change in the brain above 40 hrz (in audio wavelengths) has potentially unknown side effects. Even something as 'good' as a natural anti-depressant, when not properly understood can wreck havock in the human brain... I would hate to think what something that simulates LSD could do. Be carefull.

09-Feb-2005, Timothy

Frogot to add this... For BWE to work, you will genreally have to listen for *at least* 15 minutes before it starts working. If certian techniques are employed, then you shall have to lsiten for at least 5, but these techniques are not used in this frequency.

12-Feb-2005, Dmo

I just tried this preset and it's very hard to type. I feel very disoriented and everything seems trippy. Common objects in my house startle me, as if everything is new. I sat outside and saw dots and waves across the sky. I was hoping the sky would eventually melt, but i wasn't that lucky. I didn't visualize too much; i kept my eyes closed and I saw black holes and my brain and all kindsa sh-t. Anyways it was alright. I give it a 3.

29-Apr-2005, PhillyPunk

I would suggest using a relaxation preset for a while, get all loose then try this out you will notice a HUGE difference, GOOD STUFF

21-Jun-2005, Dmitry

I use Bwgen beside 2-3 months,and This one of my loved preset.Certainly this not present лсд,but all I real has felt the pleasure(:)).In process of the bugging I have felt much interesting effects,including light auditory and visual hallucinations,but after bugging I was an able light euphoria and my brain strangely well worked,changed the perception of the world.I apologize for my bad english,I Russian:)

I played this BW out load with 3 of my mates in the room Drugs taken: Vicky: Alcohole, Canabis rarly, salvia rarly Zell(Me): Alcohole, nicateen , Canabis, salvia rarly Navy: Alcohole we had taken/drank nothing in this test we was 100% sober effects when BW was playing: Vicky: No effect Zell(Me): Slight stoned effect, small amout of trippyness, seeing outline, like aura effect Navy: Full trippy effect, seeing a door "Fold over" and then seing it set on fire

29-Dec-2005, zzz

you played it out loud? i'm amazed any of you felt anything... you are supposed to listen through headphones

08-Jan-2006, impronen

I didn't feal a thing. I listened it through twice; first at evening at my bed and then at noon in the living room. Nothing exept some tingling in my feet.

31-Jan-2006, cthulhupunk0

The other night I decided to augment the preset by overlaying volume modulation on top of the normal frequencies. FREAKING SPECTACULAR. I've tried the real thing on more than a few occaisions, and although still not an ideal potency, this takes it a huge jump forward. Just modulate the different voices at the same frequency and enjoy. The biggest irritation was the conversions from period to frequency I had to do for all of the tones. At anyrate, feed back from anyone else who tries this is always appreciated.

27-Apr-2006, Pendi

Tested sitting upright, very relaxed at computer. used high-definition headphones, no equalizers on computer are active. 5:00 - No results thus far. 8:00 - Nothing. 12:00 - Still feel nothing 14:00 - Nothing. 15:21 - I'm hearing very vivid raindrops. my ears feel like they are lighter than air. 15:57 - I feel as if my head is being drilled. it is not uncomfortable. 16:34 It feels as if something has left my head...Something metaphysical. 17:11 Very vivid raindrops come into focus around me. Everything seems to be moving towards me or away from me. I can't tell. 18:22 The icons on my desktop begin waving like a flag. 19:34 I feel as if my body is sucking in the world around me..or pushing it outwards. At around 21:45 I notice an intense sensation that I can't explain and is in no way comprehendable by anything i've experienced in my life. The sensation continues as objects in my room seem to move inward/outward from me for the rest of the time. End time: 2:24:39

28-Apr-2006, Shut Up-Nobody

For anyone who cannot feel much....Take out all earrings. They block energy flow in the head somewhat. Taking those out may also clear constant agitation in some people.

28-Apr-2006, fdgkjew4

I feel really good with this one. The front of my head is vibrating like mad.

01-Jun-2006, franta

nothing, really nothing, i would like to compare with real lsd, but there is nothing to compare

can some one help ? i need a name & password so i can play all your sounds

14-Jul-2006, kedus

why dont you post the export instead of the preset so those of us without the program can still play it. Thanks

29-Nov-2006, khyber.pass

At first, nothing was happening, but then I looked up at around 16:00, and my roommate's chair was moving toward me, or was ballooning. Needless to say, I freaked out. ...oh, god, it's still moving... Only preset that has had any sort of effect on me yet!
