Scene Support Episode 21 dives into the world behind the board with producer/engineer Joshua “Danger” Dobbs of Danger Room Recording. We talk about how the legendary “Danger Room” went from a cramped storage space behind his job to a fully mobile studio he can take anywhere—and still make records sound massive. Josh breaks down his philosophy on recording punk bands, why knowing your gear matters more than fancy rooms, and how he chases performances that make you need to see a band live.

We also get into his (self-admitted) control-freak tendencies around mastering, why he often ignores the old “don’t mix and master your own record” rule, and his frustration when bands sit on magic because a lineup changes. If you care about how punk records are made, how to capture energy instead of perfection, and what makes a recording truly honest, this episode’s for you.
