does anyone know much about mastering? i dont.....

anyway i have this record recorder/cutter/lathe and was thinking of doing something like this:

which is funny because i have a similar recorder. although i was thinking just cutting in real-time straight from PD. but to get the best sound maybe i could run it through some kind of "mastering" patch. has anyone made such a thing or know best to do in terms of getting decent masters right from PD? I would think something like:

[equilizer~] - but what one? [adaptive/nlms3~]? adaptive_equilization example which im not sure i would know how to use for this
|
[unauthorized/compressor~] - although there is prob a good vanilla one no?
|
[expander~] ???
|
[exciter~]
|
[zexy/limiter~]
|
[hip~ 40]
|
[lop~ 16000]
|
[dac~]


but i might just make a mess with this....
