Utau Help- Ust sounds funny no matter what I do

Okay so I'm trying to cover Magnet. I'm using an ust from someone and before it sounded just fine. Then I tried to do Lukas part with Tei. She sounded fine but I wanted to see if a different utau would sound better with Mikus part so I did that, this is where my problem starts. No matter what utau I use (Elu Amaga, Gahata Meiji, Sukone Tei) it sounds really off? There's this weird distorted effect and pop effects. I thought it could be the flags I used (C25g-3BY6E99P30) so I tried a different one (g-3C100E100G). Didn't work. Cleared the flags completely and reset things. Still didn't work. Then I went back to Mikus part and the problem continued over there despite it being fine before. I'm not sure what to do? I've used that flag before on a different ust and everything was fine. But now everything's all robotic, distorted and popping. Any suggestions? I've just started utau again this month so I'm fairly new to everything.

The UTAU I was going to use were; Miku's part- Anna Nyui Colorful, Luka- Sukone Tei

Could you post on audio sample, preferably on a website like https://clyp.it/ ? That way we can diagnose the issue more clearly.
I think it went away for now (I redownloaded all my voicebanks) so I can't share an audio file of the problem. If it happens again though I'll try to do that.

The P flag controls normalization. If you don't specify an amount for the P flag, by default every individual note will have its volume raised to the same amount. If you make it lower than 86, it will become closer to the original sample volume, where some notes may be louder and some may be quieter. A consistent and well-recorded bank will benefit from lower P values, but an inconsistent one benefits from the volume normalization of the default amount.

You should also double check that MOD/Modulation is set to 0 (not blank, the number 0 must show up). This will flatten out the pitch variation in a note and allow notes to blend together more smoothly.

I've never used P flags before but they definitely helped! (Except the last notes, I guess I have to just remake them on a seperate file). As for mod it was where it should be for every note. Thank you
