I have two vocal tracks that I am trying to bounce to one track. Track 27 & 28 - I highlight the track numbers in track view. Then I click on tracks, bounce to tracks and the bounce to track menu comes up. The source tracks are highlighted, in the source track field I have it as tracks, the channel format is mono, dithering is triangular, mix enables has everything check marked.
I have played around with all these settings but it still bounces the two tracks to two tracks. How do I get them to bounce to one track only?

This isn't exactly a bounce (I'm sure others will post soon and tell you how to do), but when I do what you're trying to do I simply drag one track onto the other and they both merge into one.
 
Good luck!

This is the menu you should be seeing. in the  "Channel Format field" select mono.

If you select tracks as the source track field you will always get separate tracks in the bounce.  Select entire mix in this field instead.

That's the one that I see. I always select mono. For the Source Category should I select Main Outputs?

Main Outs is best.
 
If you have the panning of either of your vocal tracks to anything but centre, use Stereo, otherwise the panning will be lost in the bounce.
 
Do not dither, set to None.

When I select Entire Mix in the source track field there is no option to choose the two tracks I want to bounce to one track.
Will Sonar bounce the all of my tracks to one track then? Sorry - not at my PC right now otherwise I would try it and see.

Solo the 2 tracks then either do a select all (ctrl + a) or select none (ctrl + shift + a), then choose Main Outs as described above.

Got it. I am going to try this tonight for certain. What does the Main Outputs mean? Does it refer to the output set up on track view? Just curious. The dithering part - the menu always defaults to triangular so I just kept it there.

The only time you dither is when going from a higher bit depth to a lower one, usually from 24 to 16
 
There is not a lot of difference between Entire Mix and Main Outs, but this comes with a warning:
 
If your interface has more than one set of Stereo Outputs and you explicitly set up a 2nd pair (or more), say for headphone monitoring, an extra 6dB will be added to the bounce (or export) for each additional pair.
 
Put another way, using Entire Mix will SUM all active outputs into the bounce which is usually undesirable.
 
Using Main Outs will only use a single stereo pair, maintaining the volume of your mix.
 
I only ever use Man Outs for bouncing/exporting.
