the soundcard should be into send/return in the mixer and connected to input/line in on the card?

Open your Audacity project with your five mono tracks. 2. Create five new blank (mono) audio tracks (Tracks > Add New > Audio Track) 2. By clicking a...

What you can do is to select "Use custom mix" in ...

Do I need a separate interface to get all 4 discrete tracks on Audacity?
