I don't use the card you speak of but I d use the M-Audio Delta
1010LT, which is a 10 channel card. I don't use Home Studio but I do
use Sonar 7.0 Producer's Edition. What I would suggest to you is to
"EXPORT AUDIO". You can mute the tracks you don't want to export, thus
the ability to customize what you export. You should be able to export
a wav file, and then you can import that wav back into sonar. It's a
round about way of doing the same thing you described. If there is a
way to record audio from track to track, I've not been able to make
that work (directly). I can export audio all day and then re-import
that audio, which indeed is the same. Hope this helps.

My recomendation about the channels is to ignore all but 1&2, since
you only want to work in stereo anyhow.

What I do is use 3&4 for my headphone amp. If I want to pump channels
into my headphone amp I assign them to 3&4. I've not seen any need, or
use for the multi-channel. Forget everything except 1&2, and make your
life easier. I doubt you'll ever need the others.
