    That's pretty normal. If it's making an audible thing that bothers you and can't fix it at the source i'm asuming you're using a recorded/sampled instrument? If so, you'll probably have to replace it.

    Also consider that if it's work in progress, you may need to cut those frequencies anyway during mixing so it may not be a problem at all.

    You could also do something creative with the sample. Many of those "creative-purposed" plugins can wreck the actual quality of the audio anyway. (or how I end up using them).
    Throw something like Shade, Volcano, Rift, RKT, something like that, on it and see what you come up with.

    So maybe you fix it, and maybe you can't. Replace it, double up another sample, or creatively repurpose it. Hit the Mute button on the channel and go back to it later.

    Zplane retune might help you with that.
    Check out the description of the program on sister site.

    reTune gives you full access to the pitch content of your audio samples and enables you to map each input pitch to any other pitch of the chromatic scale – all in realtime.

    This allows you to re-tune your audio to any target key (e.g. from D major to C# minor), or to use it as a creative tool to modify the pitch content in any way you like. If you are unsure about the key of your input audio, you can let reTune estimate the key for you.

    Hope this helps you out

    what about one of those plugins that lower resonant frequencies like "RESO" by mastering the mix i think

    Does it have a clear fundamental? Pitch that one accordingly and the harmonics will follow along.

    Odd and even harmonics is called "timbre", which make up the character of a sound. You don't want to change those.

    Post an example of what sound you are referring to, so we know what you are talking about.
