I'll second that.
I'm just finishing a project on which I wrote, arranged, played, sung, recorded, mixed, and mastered everything. Writing the music has always been the quick and easy part for me. Everything else takes forever. If you have any real limitations in any of these areas -- for me, it's playing drums -- that one weak area can unacceptably slow everything else down. (Next time, I hire a real drummer.)
I can't say I particularly enjoyed much of the process except the very beginning (the writing of the the songs) and the very end (listening to the final product).
