Yes, the zipper noise from the controls not being sample-exact. I find it to be minimal with this plugin, though 1.2 supports sample exactness for the native plugins, so you could just replace the sidechain compressor with an amplifier. This however, won't give you the level of control the sidechain compressor has.

What you do is to
* remove the send to Master
* take an other mixer-channel, name it something like signal-pass, route that to Master
* route ducking instrument to signal-pass
Now the slider for instrument will indeed move, but you have full volume control over the instrument through signal-pass' slider. So even though the slider of the instrument is 'occupied' the purpose of the mixer is preserved.
True, though you still can't control the sidechain ratio, threshold attack/release for each instrument/mixer stip, which in my opinion is something pretty bad, as such control can lead to much cleaner mixes, for example if you need to sidechain your bass with a longer release, with the fader method you'd need to create another peak controller with a longer release. With my method, you simply turn the release knob up
