  { id: 20, category: "Formats", question: "Does the AI struggle with low-quality audio?", answer: "While our AI is excellent at enhancing audio, heavily distorted or low-bitrate source files will yield lower-quality stems than high-definition WAV files." },

  // Section 3: Stem Separation & Features
  { id: 21, category: "Features", question: "What is stem separation?", answer: "Stem separation is the process of breaking a mixed song back down into its individual components (e.g., Vocals, Drums, Bass, Other)." },
  { id: 22, category: "Features", question: "How many stems can VocalBee split a song into?", answer: "We offer 2-stem (Vocals/Instrumental) and 4-stem (Vocals/Drums/Bass/Other) separation options." },
  { id: 23, category: "Features", question: "Can I isolate only the drums?", answer: "Yes, using our 4-stem separation, you will receive a dedicated audio file containing only the drum track." },
  { id: 24, category: "Features", question: "Can I isolate only the bassline?", answer: "Yes, the 4-stem model perfectly isolates the bass guitar or synth bass from the rest of the track." },
  { id: 25, category: "Features", question: "What does 'Other' mean in 4-stem separation?", answer: "'Other' includes everything that isn't vocals, drums, or bass—such as guitars, synths, pianos, and atmospheric effects." },
  { id: 26, category: "Features", question: "How do I make a karaoke track?", answer: "Upload your song and choose 2-stem separation. Download the 'Instrumental' track to get a perfect karaoke version." },
  { id: 27, category: "Features", question: "How do I get an acapella?", answer: "Upload your song and choose 2-stem separation. Download the 'Vocals' track for a clean acapella." },
  { id: 28, category: "Features", question: "Does VocalBee remove background noise from voice recordings?", answer: "Yes, our AI excels at isolating the human voice and stripping away background static, wind, or room noise." },
  { id: 29, category: "Features", question: "Can I use VocalBee to clean up a podcast interview?", answer: "Absolutely. Upload the podcast, and the AI will remove background interference, leaving crisp dialogue." },
  { id: 30, category: "Features", question: "Will stem separation remove the reverb from vocals?", answer: "Our models generally keep the spatial effects (like reverb) attached to the vocal track to maintain a natural sound." },
  { id: 31, category: "Features", question: "Can it separate multiple singers?", answer: "It will extract all vocals onto a single vocal stem. It does not currently separate Singer A from Singer B on different stems." },
  { id: 32, category: "Features", question: "Can it separate dialogue from a movie scene?", answer: "Yes, it will extract spoken dialogue as the 'Vocal' track and push sound effects and music to the 'Instrumental' track." },
  { id: 33, category: "Features", question: "Does it work on live concert recordings?", answer: "Yes, though the crowd noise is usually pushed to the 'Instrumental' or 'Other' track depending on the frequency." },
  { id: 34, category: "Features", question: "Can I separate individual guitar and piano tracks?", answer: "Currently, guitars and pianos are grouped together in the 'Other' stem. We are developing 6-stem models for the future." },
  { id: 35, category: "Features", question: "Why do I hear a slight underwater sound in my stems?", answer: "This is a rare artifact caused when the AI tries to separate heavily compressed or overlapping frequencies. Using high-quality WAV files prevents this." },
  { id: 36, category: "Features", question: "Can VocalBee remove metronome/click tracks?", answer: "Yes, click tracks are typically pushed to the 'Drums' or 'Other' stem, leaving your vocals clean." },
  { id: 37, category: "Features", question: "Can I preview the stems before downloading?", answer: "Yes, our web interface includes a built-in multi-track player where you can solo, mute, and mix the stems." },
  { id: 38, category: "Features", question: "Can I adjust the volume of the stems and export a new mix?", answer: "You can preview the mix on the site, but to export a custom mix, you must download the stems and combine them in your own DAW." },
  { id: 39, category: "Features", question: "Is the vocal extraction completely lossless?", answer: "AI separation involves mathematical reconstruction, so it is never 100% physically lossless, but our Pro WAV outputs are perceptually flawless." },
  { id: 40, category: "Features", question: "How often are the AI models updated?", answer: "We continuously train and deploy new models. You will always have access to our latest, most advanced architecture." },
