Yes, it is definitely a different issue. I, too, am receptive to the DOP as a function. But this change of not being able to use autotune (graphical mode) as a process plugin makes it difficult to justify using N8 for me. It completely slows down my process, and I believe, Steinberg’s attempt with every new version of their software is to speed up workflow. DOP also makes Nuendo’s VariAudio an unreliable feature if it gets disabled everytime you change something in the process chain. This is my argument for getting Process Plugin (N7 Style) added back as its own feature.
