Can't switch an added track to mono...

[Steve Patrick]

Even if I click on the little interleave arrow thingy it still stays in stereo and I have to record that way and then convert to mono.

Also...if I add a new track it defaults to stereo.

Any help will be appreciated but so far underwhelmed by the "free" version of CBB.

Whether a track records in mono or stereo is determined by the Input selection. Interleave determines how playback is processed.

When you add a track, the Input defaults to None. If you then arm it without selecting an Input, it wil default to the first stereo pair.

How does the waveform appear? Does it show 2 (stereo) or 1 (mono)

Or if you set up your soundcard driver to show mono I/O it could be mono. Does your card expose mono I/O’s

Mono Inputs are always shown; the option is for Outputs.

Sorry - Yes you’re right! L, R, both

Curious if in Sonar the mono Hardware outputs are displayed in the CV track strip name.  In CbB they are not, in my case.

Set the audio input of your track to a mono input, and it'll record as mono.

Exactly the EFFECTS interleave button just controls whether the signal is sent in stereo or mono to plugins in the FX Rack. 
Stereo or mono recording is controlled by what input is selected on the track. It's done this for the last 20 years
