First of all, congrats on exquisite playing and control of dynamics.
Both version are good: in my opinion the latter sounds slightly clearer
at the expense of feeling a slightly more artificial.
I would pick 1, because I prefer video creators spend their
time shooting and uploading rather than post-producing (given that time
is a constraint for all of us).

I wouldn't discount this: subscriber gets a notification of a new video,
sees similar title/music, is pleased but doesn't bother engaging
like last time. Nothing to do with perceived quality.

Have fun playing
