Working with two separate mono tracks on a stereo track.

Audacity 3 Help Forum Windows
1

I have Audacity 2.3.3 on Windows 10
My question: I want to take an existing mono tracks and put
it on to the right of a stereo track and put another mono
track on the left of the stereo track. These tracks have been
previously recorded. Can this be done?
Purpose: I make artsy fartsy projects and the one I am
working on now requires one track for spoken audio and a
second track for tones which will be used to trigger
certain electronic functions. Mixing is not an option
because I need a separate audio line to the tone detector.
Thanks,
Andy

Yes just get the two tracks on on top of the other - the use the context menu from the top track (click on the track name in the Track Control Panel at the left of the track).

Then choose Make Stereo Track
