Mastering your own songs can offten prove a rather challenging task,

there is no exact answer I can give you however, I have learned from my own sound, and mixing music for the past few years, that compression can sometimes destroy your mix, I have found in my experience that monitoring your volume levels, and adjusting according can sometimes give you a good result, you will need your ears, and just listen close to the sound, when it has too much compression you will effect, the quality of the recording, things just dont sound right, this is how you know you have gone too far sometimes, less is better then more. from friends and people that have helped me along, you need to focus on the levels of your samples, before trying to push the mix to the extreme, some even say keeping the volume, at -6 db should be reccomended, others say take it even lower to give your mix that, punch..
