I was thinking of starting off with changing the AutoSet to Standard versus Soft.
If you mean changing this setting when you switch to a nasal mask, I wouldn't do it. Standard practice is to change only one variable at a time. If two are changed and the results are different, you likely won't know which of the two variables caused the different results.
I would leave the machine settings the same when starting the new mask. The settings can be changed later if they prove to be suboptimal.
BTW, it is sometimes said that a higher pressure is needed with a FFM versus a nasal mask. Actually, not a change in mask, but mouth-breathing may result in higher pressure needs. In humans, when the mouth opens, the mandible moves backward slightly. This tends to narrow the airway.

I am getting good numbers generally…AHI between 2 and 4, leaks usually less than 12L/min.
These are good results for a newbie (and many oldies

). I wouldn't change any settings at this point. OSCAR may tell us more.
