^Basically, the UTAU engine is one thing, however, it takes more then just a pusedo stuio state to produce a semi-good voice. :-/

Be it, the Big Al has bad mixing, and the BGM uses the -Shatter mix- version to a different sound... Big Al sounds more realistic and has none of the flaws that every UTAU has I've heard sing English.

When someone shows me a UTAU, I just think of synthesizers not based on human samples and how some of them produce better English despite the roboticness they turn out.

This is Cantor.

If you listen, be it hard to hear since Cantor was terrible in terms of clarity, you can hear similar issues with English that UTAU English vocals constantly suffer from. Lack of smoothness, bitty/broken results, but sometimes Cantor gets it right. Once you've compared it to UTAU Engish results, things you hear Cantor coughing up, you should hear with UTAU. Note; Cantor was made in 2004...

I'm going to throw up a Japanese UTAU versus a English vocaloid VB (again from Nana, sorry she happened to be up on the youtube search I did) one to see if I can make you hear the issues with UTAU even more;

Nana is the best comparison between UTAU and Vocaloid right now.
