automate the volume , eq cut or use multiband compression. That is one thing people rarely think about and that is automating EQ.

Not you, them.

It was the fact he found it strange that the frequency changes depending on the note. And then the suggestion of a compressor to somehow magically fix it.

No, just eq by the octave.

I recommend you read this:

Enjoy.

I remember someone suggesting recording a single note of your bassline to audio and then loading that up in sampler instrument and playing it out there so there will be no variation in volume/dynamic, seems like a good idea

also i think the OP is like 12

each note is played in different Hz. Duh! That's what makes a note a note. =)

The differences in Hz are the differences in the actual notes themselves.

You want this. It's the music. Typically, cuts you make will be out of direct range of the note that is being played, the cuts are of extra harmonic content that you would like to remove. If you are seeing notes jump between HZ in a given octave, it is acceptable because it is in a given range of occupied frequencies in a mix down, and expected because you wouldn't want to cut the frequency of a note, what's the point of choosing a note to begin with, if you are just going to try and cut it? Simply, you're cutting wrong. Be aware of how many different instruments and channels play in a given range, to EQ them accordingly. If you are trying to EQ the note an instrument is playing to make the track sound better, you probably already have another instrument or sound playing the same frequency.

Hope that helps.

As others have said, you probably don't want to EQ every note. It's only if a particular frequency is resonant/ overbearing that you'll want to adjust it.

It's more about what's happening, frequency-wise, over an extended timeframe (such as a half minute selection of music) than spikes at an instant in time.
