Tiny Thunder Audio

Serge Espitia is a mastering engineer out of Maplewood, New Jersey. With over a decade of experience in the music industry, he has spent time working in some of the most recognizable studios in the world, including Blue Jay Recording in Boston, and East Side SOund, Stratosphere Sound and Masterdisk in New York. 

In 2011, Serge began putting together his own Brooklyn-based studio space under the banner of Tiny Thunder Audio. Eventually, he headed to New Jersey and shifted focus from tracking and mixing to predominantly mastering.

I started working with Jacob at Vintage King, we originally were outfitting the studio for mixing and mastering. We started with converters first. The set-up includes an Antelope Audio Pure2 mastering converter as well as a pair of Mytek Brooklyn DAC and ADC.

Ta Neve 33609, Neve 8803, API 2500, API 5500, a pair of Distressors, a Manley Vari-Mu, and a Massive Passive. I added a couple of 500 Series lunch boxes that had things like a TK Audio SSL Style Compressor, a pair of Acme Audio Opticom, API 550b's, and a pair of the RND Tape Emulators. PMC offers the monitoring with PMC12 Main Monitors on custom stands by iBuildMusicStudios.

I wanted to offer a relaxed, toned down environment where people had a personable experience, while still getting the same quality and access to gear pieces that people might have at other, more expensive places, that is where iBuildMusicStudios entered the picture.
