I totally agree. I know this is Nuendo forum but both versions need this feature. I will never be able to upgrade from 9 because I cannot give up my single key press to save processing and flatten the wav file in the session folder. The direct offline processing is useless to me. when I make a process, I need it to be permanent. I do thousands of them. Cubase simply devolves into errors very early into the editing process using DOP. The old system MUST be reintroduced or I will have to stay on 9 forever and eventually switch daws.
