X1C audio 'dropout' caused by boost11

I'm familiar with all the usual tweaks involved in sorting out dropouts / latency etc but I've been experiencing dropouts or even complete audio disengagement and just found Boost11 to be the culprit. I had it on my mastr bus and all was fine for a while until all of a sudden no audio. The project would run but no sound..  After much scratching around I found if I disable boost11 I'm back in business. Then I realisd I had an instance on a softsynth output channel too. This instance is not behaving as expected either - I'm getting loads of overs / clipping on this instance.  Anyone else have the same experiene? Oh, and if I use any other limiter I still get overs.... ?!  Strange daze indeed... 


x1c, RME fireface 400 (lateset driver) , Xp 32bit...

The project would run but no sound.

Is the project all MIDI-driven synths or does it include some recorded audio?
Do audio track, bus and Boost11 meters continue registering normally or do audio meters go flat while MIDI meters remain active?

If the Audio is all MIDI-driven synths and the audio meters go flat when you lose output, I'd suggest you try increasing the MIDI "Prepare Using" buffer.

Thanks for explaining further.

I think brundlefly's suggestion may be a better one in this instance.

I don't know if Boost 11 is a look ahead... but I thought it was.

It seems like syncing up all the different latency inducing DSP when some are on tracks and some are on buses is a mind boggling task so I figure that's about the state of the art.

If boost 11 is look ahead... I'd advise that it not be placed on a project until almost all the heavy editing is done. That's how I manage issues with look ahead limiters and convolutions tools.



Maybe just deleting and re instantiating the instances of Boost 11 will clear things up.

I have noticed this issue for a while with Boost 11, not limited to X1c. I think I have narrowed down the dropouts occurring when Sylenth is in the project. Remove Boost, remove the the problem.

Update

Ok so I'm working on the same project - Audio disappears and I go on the hunt. (mater bus meters go through the roof and stay there...) This time it's not boost11 it sonitus reverb on an audio track.... disable=sorted. delete+replace=sorted. 
Later it happens again... this time its pro channel comp on the master bus. disable=sorted. to get back to normal functionality switch the comp switch from 4k to 76 and back. possibly vice versa if it happens the other way around?! 

hope it helps someone?! Any ideas what could be causing this?
