i have just bought voice master pro (focusrite pre amp) and i connect my mbox 2 pro like this :
1) from voice master to mbox 2 (+4dbu output to Aux in L & R )
2) from voice master to mbox 2 (monitor input(R & L) to Line out (1 & 2)

im recording on stero track

A stereo track has 2 audio channels, left + right.

To listen as one single file, outside of pro tools (in media player etc.) you need to export the stereo file as a 'stereo interleaved', or 'mono summed'.

Anytime you record to a Stereo track the result will be two audio files. That's the definition.
Stereo=2 tracks
Mono=1 track
