As has been discussed many times on this board, you should only consider mastering for raising the overall volume of your track 2-3 db at most and adding just the tiniest bit of polish. Your track should sound great after your mixdown, and in many cases, tracks may not need any mastering at all. Think of it like this: If your track is an ice cream sundae, then mastering is like the cherry on top. The sundae tastes good without the cherry, but adding it on top adds just a tiny bit "extra".

Great advise, my thing is I am getting the feeling like it is just the sounds that are a bit crappy sounding on some synths. Its def. just the things I may have been combining them with and the acoustics of them together. Thanks for all the help friends!!
