Choppiness Help?

[Bookworm2]

When I'm using Meiko V3 English, sometimes the notes come out strangely choppy, as in instead of flowing together smoothly it kind of stops the note suddenly then plays the next note. Any tips to help with preventing this? Sorry if it's not very descriptive, I just do not know how to describe it. I'm using Piapro Studio V3 Mode, and as stated, Meiko V3 English. I've tried fiddling around with some parameters, notably Velocity and Opening but they don't seem to do anything.

Could I see an example to maybe give a better idea of what exactly is happening? Sometimes certain phonemes will behave weirdly together with her

Could you please post an example? A clip and the phoneme combos could be useful!

I don't personally have Meiko V3 (someday) but I know Gumi English has some choppiness, particularly between vowels, and you can cheat to fix her a bit by adding another phoneme between. Like if the two words were "I and" and it was choppy between the [aI] and [{], you could put a [j] in between and it would smooth it out. Something like that. Takes some playing around with it

Here you go, let me know if I need to rerecord. Phonemes should be visible in the video.

It sounds normal to me.

I'm afraid I'm also not really hearing choppiness in the traditional sense. If you mean her kind of hard-attacked consonants, the best thing you can do for that is swap them out for softer ones. The default dictionary often makes them pronounce words in a very stilted, or "proper" way, while most people sing pretty relaxed. So like, you could put a [d] or [dh] instead of a [t] or [th], and the K's are a little harder but you can try changing a [kh] to [k] and vice versa, or even switching it to a [g] or something.

If I'm totally off base, I apologize, and please let us know which parts are bothering you!

The part where she sings "and i'll consume perfection". The words stop and start very abruptly, and I didn't really know what else to call it. I will try that though! Thanks!
