There's nothing like learning from your own mistakes. For me it was great education, as I could easily see where I went wrong myself. I guess for a lot of people this produces great results. Most of the time the results are quite good, but you can easily tweak it a little. Har-Bal creates a profile or filter, which you than use to master your own song. You load a commercial song, that is close in style and dynamics to the one you want to master.
Har-Bal basically is an equalizer with unlimited bands. My ears are scr*wed anyway, due to years of too loud music and although I know/learned a lot, i'm still no engineer. Not so strange as there is a lot of knowledge and great ears required to produce a quality mastered product. I read and tried, and got better, but never reached the required level. My mixes never were as good as commercial ones. I'm going to enter into a realm that seems to be a very delicate subject in the music industry, auto-mastering. If you want I can provide you links to some highly recommended tried & tested mastering engineers. There are so many positives to getting your tracks mastered professionally, you should give it a try, even if it's just the once to see if you think it's for you - I'm pretty much 100% sure that you will be blown away by what they can do. Before they do any work on your track they will usually do a mix review for you, this is a great opportunity to get a fresh set of ears listening to your track & the feedback you get from them is always constructive, if they make any recommendations or suggestions to improve your mix you can be sure that they wouldn't be saying it if it didn't really need it. Depending on who you choose & if they are local enough to you, you may get the option to have an attended mastering session, they cost a little more than just sending your tracks to them but it's a great chance to get a better idea of what's involved in the whole process.

It takes years to develop the skills needed to become a pro mastering engineer, the equipment they use & their listening environment is generally far superior to anything any of us are using. My advice would be pay a dedicated mastering engineer to master your tracks for you, it's not really that expensive & no matter how hard you try you will struggle to achieve the results they can by using plugins alone. No matter what track(s) I listen to, regardless of genre, they all have the same mastered sound - nice, cozy, loud, warm, but without any strain or overcompression. I'm not a skilled engineer, I'm a home studio enthusiast,
