Steady: sustained attention without a strong slope.

What to do with this

If you produce

Stem separation is now good enough for remixes, edits, and sampling workflows. Treat it as an instrument: extract, recombine, and resample, but clear rights before releasing.

If you work in the industry

Separation tech has legal gray zones being tested right now, as unofficial remixes and edits explode. Rights holders and platforms are still deciding how to respond.
