@Kotoritachi STP is in the note properties when you right click a note. I have no way of knowing if that's your problem or not, but just to be safe you should either convert all your stereo samples to mono or replace them with new mono recordings.

@Angel Emfrbl Nana's 2S UTAU voicebank is in CV, which is short for consonant vowel, meaning diphonic. I don't know about her quality, but a CV bank is going to sound choppy and robotic no matter what the tuning. I know a lot of people bring up Gahata Meiji when arguing about how UTAU can be better than Vocaloid, but honestly her voicebank is not the best quality. Like in this cover of Mairieux, you can hear a metallic stretching sound in the long notes. Konuko's tuning is not that complex, neither is cillia/kyaami's, in fact they both use simple pitchbends. Good tuning can't make LQ vocals sound HQ (not saying Meiji is LQ, but she's really MQ than anything, similar to Ruby's quality in Vocaloid). It's actually easier than you think to get good quality vocal results from UTAU, it just uses pitchbends unlike in Vocaloid where there are several parameters for controlling various frequencies in the voice. Back in 2012 UTAU may have been inferior to Vocaloid, but nowadays its quality is on par, it's only behind Vocaloid in terms of user interface.
