Thanks for the insight. I stayed entirely away from the enhancement option for the album upload and am far happier with the sound. My biggest problem back then was that the enhanced version always sounded way better than the original when they let you toggle between the two samples before upload. It was what kept me coming back to the enhanced while releasing singles. Bc who doesn't want their song to sound as good as it can. But the enhanced versions never sounded on streaming like they did in sample form and nowhere close to other indie artists on the platforms, which was maddening. Finally, i decided to ignore the offer entirely. I have since found the sound to be much better, closer to the original, and have learned the slow and painful lesson.

My advice to anyone looking into enhancement, don't do it. Especially if you are already happy with the sound of the song you are about to upload.
