Sam,

As I understand and what I think Mac is saying that Mastering is done to the finished mixed downed tracks as a whole (effects added or taken away from your finished mixdowned song) and not to individual tracks, what you are suggesting.

Effects should never be part of the Mastering process.

The whole point of Mastering is to take what the mixdown engineer or artist did and simply make it compliant with various engineering and "musical" aspects, hopefully changing nothing about the various effects that the artist may or may not have used in the mixdown process.

Tools typically used in Mastering consist of EQ and Compression techniques, often using the MultiBand Compressor, which in effect is a combination of the two. There are various differing ways and methods of accomplishing this.
