Keep in mind the 8 are 8 mono tracks. Sonar or the M-Audio driver takes these 8 and pairs them when creating stereo tracks. So it works like this on most sound cards:
1 = Left 1
2 = Right 1
1+2 = Stereo 1
3 = Left 3
4 = Right 3
3+4 = Stereo 3
5 = Left 5
6 = Right 5
5+6 = Stereo 5
7 = Left 7
8 = Right 7
7+8 = Stereo 7
The numbering may vary, but the concept is the same. Most instruments and microphones are monophonic so it makes sense to do it this way. If you have a guitar with a stereo effects box, or a stereo synth keyboard, then you will want to use a stereo input for these, otherwise a mono track is the best choice.
