Once you're done setting up the Output Bus, you need to change the outputs of the tracks to the Mono Out bus that you just created. So make sure that you select the right output port. This is important because this is where all the output from your mixes will be routed. Next, select the Audio Device that you are using, and then select the Device Port that you will be using. You can also rename the outputs by double-clicking on the name and entering a new one. The mono bus will be added in the list of outputs that are available. To add a mono bus output, select the Mono option from the drop-down list. You will be presented with a dialog box where you can enter the number of buses that you need, and their configuration. Select the Output tab and click on the Add Bus button. Here you will be presented with tabs related to Inputs, Outputs, Groups/FX, External FX, and External Instruments.
