BOOST11 was extensively used on the drums and some synths on my track - "SONAR DEMO" (this is the Danny Danzi mix!)

My favorite use of BOOST11 is on drums to really add some punch! - S

I think it's a useful little tool, I prefer the 64 Multiband for the Master bus myself. But I will slap good ol' Boost 11 on certain bass or Kick tracks sometimes. The only complaint is they should not have set the default so high, It needs to be toned down to work right.

I've definitely used it a lot in the past. I haven't used it in a while though. Back when I was learning how to apply limiting, I would just bounce and normalize and then apply some boost 11 to trip the top peaks and raise the whole mix a 1dB or 2. just a hair.
 
I haven't used it in a long time though. I liked that you could just apply it offline. I wouldn't audition it. I'd do Process > Effect > Boost 11 and just set it to 1 or 1.7 dB or so. I was applying limiting visually, not listening to the mix.

I'm not really an experienced limiter user and I have only used two to date. Boost11 and the new Nomad one so obviously this is a VERY... er... limited (har har) perspective but I found the Blue Tubes one is a lot smoother sounding on my stuff. However my music is COMPLETELY different than yours, Shawn. I could definitely see B11 being more desirable for electronic music. To me I just want to bring up my levels and round out any peaks (if I even let it touch the peaks). I found the B11 made things kind of harsh.
 
Have you tried it yet? I'm curious what you think of it. In fact I'm really digging that Blue Tube stuff. I didn't think I'd even use them but they're pretty cool and they cover some hardware models I never would have been able to afford from other companies.
 
Cheers.

It's an important point, almost half the "masters" I have got back from various people I had noticed all the peaks were beheaded and flat, I didn't even bother listening to them. Pure vandalism IMHO.

Yeah, I found that out after destroying my first "master" of Beeps Creep with B11. Wasn't the plug's fault though. I'm just an idiot pretending be a not idiot. I've been kind of catching up on this whole loudness wars stuff and I think I'm going to take the stance of letting things breathe naturally. The little whippersnappers can just turn the friggen' volume up if they want it blasting.

Never been a fan. I have used it but I think there are much better freebies. *goes to the outcast corner of the party*
