unconventional rendering of projects...

hi, I'm in a bit of a predicament. The thing is that I need to make a new render of an old cubase project (I only have mp3 versions of it but I need a .wav version), but for various reasons - changes of setup and so on - now that I try to render that project one of the instruments crashes and at the moment I can't seem to rectify that problem.

As a way out I was thinking, what if I play back the entire project in cubase (which for some reason works) and record the headphone output of my soundcard into the microphone input of my laptop, and use a program on the laptop to save the soundfile as a .wav.

When it comes to soundquality, will this have any major impacts to the file?

I still haven't given up on rendering the original project with cubase, but I'd like to keep my options open.

I would be very thankful for any input on the matter

A few things spring to mind.

1. Bounce the crashing instrument to an audio track, then delete it and then render the file.

2. On a new audio track, simply record the whole song, then render that.

3. In an audio editor, record the live stream and save that as your .wav

can you not just make an audio track and select the mix output as it's input?

thanks

as far as I can see the problem is some sort of corruption with a an already rendered version of an instrument, but I managed to recover the old settings I used when I made the track on another computer and rendered it from there

hopefully this was a one-time occurence and not the first sign of a bigger problem...
