MASTER with 1 program? Forget it.

It takes a crapload of money to decently master any recording. Not one machine, or one program, but usually a fullblown recording setup and a mastering engineer.
I use a Korg D1600 to record my songs, and there are a few mastering presets, but they're pretty much just variations of EQ and compression. Nothing fancy.
If I had the money, I would send my stuff to a person who specializes in mastering. You might want to as well.

Mastering = outboard rack gear. Think about it, you are modyfing a finished mix so the only way you are going to do any good to the song is if you have top quality gear which can change the signal very subtly without adding any unwanted coloration or noise. You want everything to stay in control.
