## Plugin and App Measurements are Different

The most likely cause for this issue could be:

* Wrong channel configuration
* The master channel fader is not at 0dB

## How to move all meter data to another computer

The user data is stored in the following locations:

**Windows:**

```
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Youlean\Youlean Loudness
```

**macOS:**

```
~/Library/Application Support/Youlean/Youlean Loudness Meter 2
```

To move all data, copy these folders to the other computers.

## The meter doesn't show any measurements

The problem might be if the **Elapsed** histogram mode is selected, but audio playback is stopped.

The solution is to switch to continuous mode for measurements or to activate a host playback.
