I loved, and relied on the utility of the old dialog experience for applying pitch changes to audio on demand. The old behavior of being able to process in place or as a new file was simple and fool proof.
As someone who’s used Cubase for over 10 years to compose and produce, the new DOP feature seems like it’s been designed to scale for automation and big studio production. Does not seem like something that would appeal to musicians. Why not make it a standalone feature in a different menu or at least a checkbox for “Use advanced mode” in preferences so it’s not forced on everyone who wants to change the pitch of a single sound in a straightforward manner?
