How many Track Output to USB in Garage Band?

I can get all 32 channels via USB from my Behringer X32 into my MacBook Pro Garageband. But the individual tracks do not go back out. It seems the only output is the L/R Master out on USB outputs 1 and 2. Is this the case or can I get the individual tracks out on the USB like with other solutions?

GarageBand - How Do I Playback Multiple Tracks via USB? I have successfully connected my Soundcraft Performer 2 digital audio console's 32 channel USB I/O card to my MB Pro and recorded 21 instrument and vocal tracks for a live band that I mixed recently. However, when I try to play the tracks back into my console from Garageband, I am only getting 2 channels that sound like a stereo mix of the recording. I want to send all the tracks to the console so that I can use them for a virtual soundcheck, but I can't figure out how to do it, so I'm looking for some help. All I have found so far is information on how to locate the WAV files for my individual tracks so that I can import them into another app like Reaper and use it for multitrack playback, but I'd rather not do that if there is a way to get Garageband to playback more than 2 channels via USB. FWIW I'm running Mojave because I like iTunes :) and I'm a Garageband newbie.

Will Garage Band for Mac Monterey record two separate tracks simultaneously from an audio interface like Focusurite 2i2? Focusrite 2i2 has two input channels, each with a preamp and controls. When connected to Garage Band for Mac, will Garage Band allow two new audio tracks to be created with each recording a single input from Focusrite 2i2 at the simultaneously? Example: Voice is into input 1, guitar is in input 2. Can those separate inputs also be separated to two tracks on GarageBands while playing through them at the same time? I know both inputs can be recorded to one track, but what about isolating what is going into the inputs onto two audio recording tracks to two recording tracks? Possible? If so, what buttons to push to get there?

I think Garageband limits you to the L/R busses.

Anything else requires its smarter older brother, Logic.

Thank-you Keith! At less than half the price of Cubase Pro, Logic seems a cost effective alternative.
