Talk:Bill Porter (sound engineer)

Audio Hall of Fame
I'm adding a fact tag to the cite about "Audio Hall of Fame". What I want to know is what Audio Hall of Fame is this talking about? I can't find any such Hall or any organization that put Porter on such a list of honorees, and I've been looking for a month. The closest I've come to finding out who honored Porter in this manner was a past magazine editor who pointed me to Richard Ekstract and the now-defunct magazine Audio Times, where I found no further information one way or another.

It was 1992, not 1989, when Porter was inducted into the TEC Awards Hall of Fame. This isn't a simple date mistake, though; I think Porter was in both Halls. The question is which organization honored him in 1989?

I would like to have the "Audio Hall of Fame" defined before the cite can stay. Binksternet (talk) 03:27, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Moonlighting at two studios?
Porter's interviews put "Only the Lonely" at the time of his moving to Monument in 1964, but the song was released in May 1960. Was Porter doing work for Chet Atkins at RCA Records at the same time as he was moonlighting for Fred Foster at Monument Records? Porter was definitely involved with the making of "Only the Lonely", helping Orbison get his signature sound; many other sources confirm his presence and personal influence on the session. The problem comes with how Porter was working at both RCA and Monument when he says nothing of the sort. Binksternet (talk) 23:03, 8 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I have a handle on it. Monument Records recorded at RCA Nashville for some four years before getting their own digs. Porter was not moving between two studios; he was staying at RCA Nashville to handle multiple clients and recording sessions. Binksternet (talk) 03:55, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
