GEAR!

We've got the tools to please both the ardent gearhead and the sensitive, creative type who can't be bothered with model numbers and such trifles.

We operate a ProTools HD2 system with a PowerMac G5, loaded with music software like Ableton Live, Reason, Finale, Melodyne and a plethora of amazing plug-ins. Our Toft ATB16 anaglog console, designed by the founder of Trident, was one of the first sold in Minnesota. It sounds warm and meaty, and the EQ will make all Trident 80 series lovers melt. Behold, our Summit Audio  TPA-200A Tube Preamp, Summit DCL-200 Compressor, 5 API 512c Preamps and 550b EQ's, Urei 546 EQ, Emperical Labs Distressor and DBX 166 Compressor/Gate. Plug in to our Furman HDS-6 Headphone System and listen to the mix through our soffit mounted Mackie HR824 Monitors, Yamaha NS-10m's, or Alesis Prolinear 720's.

All of our rooms were designed with acoustic precision and are versatile enough to accommodate any arrangement.

And then there were microphones...
Neumann U87, Neumann TLM49, Neumann KM184’s, Cascade Fathead Ribbon's, Rode NT5’s, Sennheiser 421, B3 Studio Pair, AKG D112, Audix D6, ElectroVoice N/D 308B’s, Sure SM91, Sure Beta 58A, Sure Beta 57A, Sure SM57’s, Realistic vintage condenser, old school Principal's announcement mic, and more.

At Humans Win! we cater to the adventurous drummer. We've amassed an eclectic drum collection from all over the world - Samba drums from Brazil, Bhangra Dhols and Tavil drums from India, xylophones from West Africa, bells and singing bowls from Tibet, milk jugs and sheet metal from some guy's garage. We've also got a 5 piece Ludwig Vistalite kit, 6 piece DW kit, 4 piece Gretsch jazz kit, 1964 Ludwig Superphonic snare drum, 12" and 13" Pork Pie snares, Yamaha marching snare, Timba congas, Meinl bongos, the list goes on. As for cymbals, we have a huge variety suitable for any application, including a wide selection of Zildjian K series and A series.
