Comment: Article created 7 days ago on 9 January. Sources for all hooks:
Deke Sharon, founder and longtime president of the
Contemporary A Cappella Society, wrote in his
2018 book that "the sound of contemporary recorded a cappella owes more to [Bill Hare's] technique, style, and pioneering than any other person."
The writer whose book became Pitch Perfectwrote in 2008 that, "in many ways, the history of collegiate a cappella recording is the Bill Hare story. Bill Hare is sort of like the Dr. Dre of a cappella recording."
"Producer Bill Hare ... had changed the game by being the first to mic individual voices while recording, and to mic singers as one would instruments if they are indeed singing instrumental parts." —

1) article is new enough and long enough 2) Doesn't appear to violate copyright 3) Article appears neutral 4) Article contains inline citations

I have some concern about the use of the podcast as a citation, because it can't necessarily be considered a reliable source. However, I went through and the information you cited wasn't really controversial so I think it works as a source of background information on the subject. However, other editors may not agree with me.
along with the points in the top line, article appears to satisfy DYK requirements. QPQ not needed as this is their second DYK. I'm okay with the original hook and ALT2. ALT1 is passable, but I feel like the source reliability is much weaker.
