If you're not sure what mastering is, you probably need to read a good
book on the subject. The best one by far is Bob Katz, Mastering Audio, 2nd
Edition. More info here:
http://www.digido.com/mastering-audio-book.html
Here's the Wikipedia entry on audio mastering:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_mastering
Or the page on my Website called "What Is Mastering":
http://ctsmastering.com/WhatIsMastering.php
If you're not sure how mastering differs from mixing, read "What is
Mixing" and compare it to "what is Mastering" mentioned above:
http://ctsmastering.com/WhatIsMixing.php
Berklee Online offer a correspondence course in in mastering as well,
highly recommended:

Yes you have the tools to do it, at least the software, but that's a less
important part compared to:
1. Do you have full-range (not nearfield) monitors?
2. Are they are in a room that doesn't resonate badly at various
frequencies? That is, you should have the acoustics controlled with
absorbers, bass traps, etc. and
3. Do you have the ability to listen critically and detect small changes,
such as "hmm that could come down a dB around 2KHZ".
If you you are planning on releasing your music to the public, selling it
etc. I'd be happy to master it for you. Please contact me off-list.
