I'm new to OBS but I've seen multiple videos showing how to add a desktop audio soundtrack and a microphone audio soundtrack but every time I tic the two audio tracks in Output and tick the two tracks I want in the mixer it doesn't work. For example, if I put my recording into Sony Vegas, 4 of the same audio tracks display and I'm not sure what to do or if I'm doing something wrong.

Video player. Plays multitrack files, allows for audio track selection. Plays just about anything. Highly recommended.

You'll want the 'Audio' menu along the top, it has an 'Audio Tracks' section. Each of the tracks you have enabled should appear there.
As a side note, it's usually recommended to have your first/primary track contain all your sources, and then subsequent tracks containing specific sources. That way if you don't want to/need to edit them, they'll play in all other situations.

That would be problematic for people who use the NDI plugin for output, as that plugin takes only Track 1 and isn't configurable. (When you use NDI as a source, you can assign it to a track like any other source, but if you're using it for output, it takes audio from Track 1. So if you're doing that and don't want ALL your audio to go into the NDI output, you can't use Track 1 for an "all tracks muxed" track.
Instead I use Track 6 for that. YMMV.
