To make you feel better, I think you made all the common production errors. You had a working show in your hands.

it was a mistake not to immediately export the raw .WAV file. Not exactly raw. File > Export > Export as Wav > wav (Microsoft) 16-bit. It's the same basic format and perfect quality as an Audio CD.
