mastering isnt as hard as everyone makes it out to be, especially for an independent, non-commercial release. Use very high volume, fiddle with a soft knee'd low ratio compressor, play with EQ's for 20 minutes at a time with an hour break inbetween, make 4 or 5 "masters" and compare and tweek them together and with professional mixes that sound similar to your music or what you're going for, and finish it.

if you want the multiband compressor, massive ear fuck sound, a professional is probably a good idea.
