This is quite a common problem and there are a few ways to solve it.

1) Use a notch filter around the problem frequency, not the best solution as it may alter the sound to your dislike for the notes which aren't overly resonant, but an option non the less.

2) Use a Dynamic EQ to perform the above so that the notch only kicks in when the level in that band reaches a certain level.

3) Compression can sometimes help.

4) Change the key of the track, so the notes fall into a different frequency range.

5) Possibly the easiest solution and the one that usually works for me (because it's usually one single note that resonates like this) is to go into you note editor, select the offending note and lower it's velocity very slighty (assuming velocity is linked to amplitude). I find that with a very slight adjustment the note falls into place without adversly affecting the level of the bassline, bearing in mind it gets fed into a compressor anyway.

i think everyone forgot the simplest answer, instead of doing such drastic changes as changing the entire note of ur track, just automate the level to duck at the high point to the desired level

I pulled this from an online article called 'EQ by octave' it's not necessarily the solution but combined with other tips it might point you in the right direction.

quote:

Covering about 1.5 octaves, from 80 Hz to 250 Hz, this range of frequencies determines the "fatness" and "fullness" of the instrument's sound. Equalization is usually applied centered around two frequencies, 100 Hz and 200 Hz. For guitars and bass, the 100 Hz range tends to add body and fullness. Excessive energy in this range tends to make these instruments sound "boomy.," This range of frequencies is still greatly affected by the Fletcher-Muson Effect; this means you will need to listen to the mix and instrument both loud and soft. Similar to how the 50 Hz range affects the bass and foot, the guitars should sound fatter when played loud, not boomy. Reducing the 100 Hz energy on the guitar will usually cause distinction between the bass and guitar parts. The lowest fundamental frequency on a guitar is around 80 Hz. For vocals the 200 Hz range determines the fullness of the vocal. This range can often be reduced to increase distinction on the vocal. If, however, boosting in higher frequencies on the vocal makes the sound "thin" or "small" a boost of 200 Hz. will restore fullness. When 100 Hz is reduced on a guitar or bass to reduce "boom," at small boost at 200 Hz can be helpful to keep the instrument from sounding "lumpy" (certain notes hard to hear and others standing out). The guitar and bass have almost equal energy at their fundamental and 2nd harmonic frequencies. Thus if a range of notes becomes hard to hear because of a at lot of 100 Hz, reducing energy at 100Hz and adding energy at 200 Hz will help the notes be heard again.
