You can replace the n8/n12’s compressor settings (Sweet Spot Data) by using a dedicated software application called
Sweet Spot Data Manager. This application contains several Sweet Spot Data sets and enables you to easily replace
(load) the data while the n8/n12 is operating. For example, you can apply compression using the preset data while
recording, and use other data while mixing.
