I check some studies in people who have syansthesyaand when they say the colours of the letters and numbers they agree in the same colours, so I thought it wouldbe the same here, rather than and Hallucination or what ytou think the colour is. Correct me if I'm wrong

Yeah, that's exactly what I was wondering. It seems that for some things people have some pretty common perceptions (ex; kiki and boomba), but for others it's entirely subjective. You can just look at the kind of lexicon people use in the producer's forums here. It seems like something you take for granted after awhile, but we all use words like "thick, thin, fat, dry, wet, warm, cold, clear" and a bunch of adjectives reffering to tactile sensations to describe sounds, and somehow we all understand eachother - isn't that strange? I'm also wondering by what mechanism those associations are determined.

I think a lot of people in this thread are kidding themselves.

Yes, that's called your imagination. Everyone visualises things when they hear music.

That's the point. If you had synaesthesia you wouldn't experience these things only at high volume, and neither with certain tracks.

hahahah

I hadn't seen that image in forever! Saw it in some BBC docu about synaesthesia

if you have to think about it, then ur prolly not synaesthetic...it's an involuntary response...i mean, i can "see" colors, etc. when i really focus on the music and get myself involved, but that's a voluntary choice, and even then, i'm not physically seeing the colors, but only imagining them...

people need to understand they're not that special

Nobody claimed to be 'special'. This kind of stuff is actually very frequent - probably more so than people who are left handed. Would you not believe me if I told you I was left handed? It's just the really extreme cases that are rare.
