I'm looking all over the web for some sites on Eq'ing, and i've found some great stuff. Like this for example: http://www.recordingeq.com/EQ/req0900/primer.htm

The only problem, when it explains good places to cut and for what, the Frequencies they use (50Hz, 100Hz, 200 Hz, 400 Hz etc.) are not in Cakewalk's graphic eq. Mine start at 32Hz, then 64Hz, then 130Hz, and so on. I'm using Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Pro. Basically my question is can i change the frequencies used in the graphic eq? If not, does anyone have any input on different ways of eq'ing? Like where to reduce or increase for certain things? I'm primarily looking for drums. Thanks!

I'm not familiar with GT Pro, but didn't they give you a parametric EQ as well as the graphic EQ? Also, if not, are you sure the frequencies in the graphic EQ aren't adjustable. Often they are.

Short of the above, go get yourself a decent parametric EQ.
 
You definitely should change the frequencies, as they are at best general guidelines. I'd venture a step farther and say that while the numbers get you in the ballpark, getting in there and hearing the changes is the key.

Another aspect that you'll collect along with your ear training, is how to look at which to eq and why. ...Things sounded ok on their own or before you added tracks, now track x sounds 'dull'. Does track x need more treble, or less lows? Or is it other tracks that need to be adjusted to fix this one? :D

You mean: Change the frequensies on the EQ? No, that's not possible. But you can get another plugin...
