New Post: Custom tick labels

Hello.
I need to plot some numeric data as a function of audio frequency. The frequency axis (x axis) is in octave bands - which is base 2 log. Here's an example I found online of what I want to plot:

(reference: http://www.dpamicrophones.com/da/MikrofonUniversitet/Tech-Guide/Acoustics.aspx)

I've tried a few things without success:

1. Using log axis for frequency - but the values are calculated with a reference of 1 - I need a way to set a reference (e.g. 1000 Hz) so I can start at 63 (or 62.5) and work my way up from there.
2. Using a category axis for frequency, so I can specify a custom string - but I need the labels to line up with the grid lines, not in between the grid lines (if that makes sense?)
3. Using a linear axis for frequency - but I have no way of replacing the numeric labels with a custom string.
   

Does anyone have any ideas? It seems like I need VS2012 (I have 2010) to open and compile the source, so I really am stuck. I think option 1. should be quite easy to implement?
