What is the best frequency to cut off your tracks? 30hz? Or higher? Of even lower?

Normally a track does not contain much sound in this region, so only cut off the low end when there is too much of it

Depends on what you're trying to achieve...
Sound creation: are you trying to fix a problem or trying to achieve a certain sound? What kind of sound?
Mixing: Does the bass get in the way of other sounds?
Mastering: depends if you're making a radio mix, a club mix or a general mix; on your end audience (do they listen on computer speakers or big bad bass systems); on the fact if it's for CD, MP3 or vinyl; how bass heavy the original is, ...
And even then you can give any definitive answers because it depends completely on the song...
and there's so many things you can do in EQ, straight analog X-pole filtering, FFT filtering (which is better in phase correlation), EQ'ing with a variable Q etc...
Not a simple question to answer, except: USE YOUR EARS

Hehe, k 
Not that I had any tracks that needed it as far as I know... But my last I was working on (for the Battle 4 Da Breaks compo) had some serious bass going on, so I descided to cut it off if needed. But it only went down till 40Hz...

my 2cents: anything below 20hz i cut off; sometimes anything below 25hz, depending on how much low end is happening in the track. as far as the high-end goes, that all truly depends on what type of feel/quality i want to give to the listener (ex: if i wanted to give them a more digital sounding track i would barely cutoff anything; on the other hand if i wanted a more analog/old vinyl sound i would cut anything above 9.5khz)
