I need better plosives.
The T’s aren’t cutting through at all.
I’ve ramped the ‘t’ in the phonemes panel to 180% but it doesn’t really seem to do much.
Any tricks I can use?
Other than ramping as you have done, the only other way I tried, which was an improvement, in the one case I tried, was to add the t sound as another word (might have used tuh). (and remove it off the actual word).
Might work / might not?

Try putting two “t’s” at the end. The “t-uh” idea works sometimes too. You have to cut the “uh” volume in SV or in your DAW.

Hi… You might want to try the phoneme duration and level feature. I find It’s pretty handy for things like this.

Since /d/ is the voiced version of /t/, you could try using a /d/ instead of a /t/ and de-voice it by going into the Parameter panel, choosing Voice, and draw a parameter line to make it unvoiced. You might also add a glottal stop /cl/ after it to bring it to a more abrupt closure.
You might try manually editing the tail a bit, since after the plosive on the /d/ there’s a bit more release on the /d/ than a /t/.
It’s not perfect, but it might get you in the ballpark. The other option is the old standby of grabbing the sound from a different voice. It’s a stop consonant, so there’s not really a transition you’d need to graft onto it.

Here’s a quick demo…
What you’re hearing
- Kevin singing as written “I bought the boat” - the final ‘t’ of ‘boat’ is correctly pronounced, but the ‘t’ of bought is almost silent
- Now there is a silence between ‘bought’ and ‘the’ - the pronunciation of bought also changed to a more British English accent.
- The note ‘bought’ split into Bough and ter - no gap between these and the following note ‘the’ the ‘er’ of ‘ter’ reduced
Hope you find the ideas helpful???
