if i'm just sticking stuff up on soundcloud i should just concentrate on a balanced sounding mix on the setup i have?
Balanced, and making sure that the volume hits the same as your peers. Nothing stops people listening than a track that's too hot or too quiet. Start out ensuring you're peaking at
-0.10.3 db at the loudest points, and you're above -10db most of the rest of the time, and see how it lands for you.There is zero point mastering for soundcloud.

so mastering really isn't worth it for the bedroom producer?

i'm mostly writing stuff on headphones, then listening back to it through my small studio monitors and a couple of different speaker setups in the house.
