I haven't got my headphones but if you haven't gone to a studio and met up with a mastering engineer or sent it off online or whatever to be mastered then no... it hasn't been mastered.

My bad i was ment to put mix down just got them mixed up.

Your ears are the best judge mate. Do you feel like it's mixed to the best possible standard? The idea is to try to give yourself as much headroom as possible (so mix to around -6db) and give each instrument its own space in the mix. Get a frequency analyser to help you see what's going on. The best way to get a good mix is by using sounds that compliment each other in the first place. I'll give it a listen when I get my headphones back.

Just had a little listen mate and the mix down doesn't sound too bad. I assume you've put a limiter on it right? Take off the limiter and make sure there's a good amount of headroom and send it off to be mastered. Pretty cool track by the way.
