...How dare anyone be talented or experienced enough to do that...!!
Actually some people enjoy the creative process in all of those areas...and ...they are often the best choice for the job.
And then you have those who argue that the individual processes 'suffer' because someone is wearing too many hats...then the flip coin is that the person enjoys wearing the hats and can pull it off because love it, they are skilled and they are happy with the results ...but someone then complains or argues that the individual process suffers because someone is wearing too many hats...

I personally wouldn't ever discourage anyone wanting to experience the process of several creative roles if they had a vision and the moxy to see it through There is just too much talent in the world....(despite the sentiments of some)
If you do use outside help you better find the right folks for you....I have recently had material mixed...and material mastered by 'professionals' in thier field...it was a genuine waste of time and cash. All of it needed to be redone and taken to someone else or do it ourselves to get it done right.
The bottom line for me is that there just isn't one right way to do anything...and if you are locked into a set of unmoldable standards you will suffer in your rigidness and find yourself with less clients and less options.
I eat at home everday for all meals because I love my own cooking and most restaurants fall short of my expectations... I know just how much seasoning I like.
But on occassion I want something unique or something I can only get from an outside cook of another's experience.
Sure there alot of 'do it yourselfers'...but I wouldn't judge too harshly Randy, this is a small world bro and there is a ton of cool folks in it.
