So don't use it.
I get paid to use it. I often don't get to choose the DAW I use.

You could set your sends pre-fader and group the dry+wet channel faders together to maintain balance, once your ratio is set, right?
Then if I want to adjust one channel fader I would have to disable groups or deselect the group every time then tweak the send as well. Why does Avid put us through all that crap when a simple logic circuit solved this problem in the 70s and every other DAW has followed that industry standard? It's completely nuts, but so many Pro Tools users have never used an analog board or other DAW long enough to see how lame the Pro Tools soloing is.
Nice tip. Crap song...
I'm not sure how you would group the channel fader with a pre-fader send on the channel. Maybe it can be done. It still means spending time setting up groups and switching them on and off.
The way soloing works on a real mixer or a DAW that does it right is with an independent solo bus. When you solo a track it is assigned to the solo bus and the headphone/control room output is switched to the solo bus. All the channels continue to pass signal to their sends and outputs so when you solo a reverb the channels feeding the reverb continue to do so. You click once to solo, click once to un-solo.
