UTAU isn't actually a really good synth engine, its value was never its quality or performance it basically is a bit primitive in performance. A lot of UTAU fans won't admit that and look as Vocaloid fans such as myself who say as being bias or prude.

Vocaloid have always out shone it except in a couple of areas such as choice of voicebanks. But it makes up for this by basically making certain that the few voicebanks Vocaloid does provide are of a bare standard and even Sonika passed that test. UTAU has no standards. In other words, the standard for UTAU can often be less then Sonika. It did have triphones before Vocaloid and is a more adaptable engine, but it lacked the ability to include all sounds needed for every language and was designed to only cater for Japanese even when you used it for other languages.

Synth V is on par with CeVIO and Vocaloid, its a "modern vocal synth" that sounds much better then what we had in the 2000s with Vocaloid. UTAU is a 2000s quality engine like V2 was and UTAU was about on par with V1 max. And because the development ceased in 2013, thats all it will ever be. It takes half a decade to show each decades improvements overall because it takes years to show huge improvements in software development overall. But at this point in time, the reality is Synth V has more reason to replace UTAU as the free engine everyone uses and generally it sounds better and supports more. :-?

I think re-recorded, however, is most likely that happened due to UTAU's set up for voicebanks even at their most advance... You can include things in Synth V you can't in UTAU.
