In 1978, he took over the Can-Studio, the Cologne-based band’s the rehearsal and recording room.

In addition, Tinner also produced Jim Capaldi's Living On the Outside (2001). Tinner went on to work with other performers such as German actor and musician Marius Müller-Westernhagen, Russian band Mumiy Troll, German comedian Dieter Nuhr, Norwegian alternative rock band Serena-Maneesh, and others. Tinner has also worked on a number of television and film soundtracks. In 2008, Tinner recorded the film music for the Wim Wenders production Palermo Shooting (which was presented at Cannes Film Festival in 2008). Other notable television and film soundtrack productions include Knife in the Head (Reinhard Hauff, 1978), Schneeland (Hans W. Geißendörfer, 2004) and Stolen Ransom (Stephan Wagner, 2012).
