sending individual channels from interface to FOH??

hello there. I'm using ableton as a live looper and for effects. but i want to send the FOH each individual track and not just one master mix.i have a TRS-XLR snake that I'm trying to plug in and send the outputs on the back of my interface to the sound board. I'm confused about the routing. since I'm using 1/2 for master, 7/8 and 9/10 for headphone mixes does that mean those outputs are already being used? if so that only leaves me with 4 outputs left. is this even possible or should i just not even try??? i basically have bass, synth, octapad, and 2 vocal tracks sending into my interface. i want to take those 5 tracks and send them individually to the FOH so that I'm not trying to make the master mix behind my drum kit with headphones u know?for example track 1 is the octapad. and on the output of track one i have it set to output 3 on the back of the interface. now in ableton i choose the routing output to be 3 but its not working. any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using a focusrite scarlet 18i20 interface.

Have you enabled all the hardware outputs you need in Live's Preferences > Audio > Output Configurations panel?

Is there another software control pane for the Scarlet where you might have something mis-routed, or turned down?

Just thoughts.

i have all of the outputs selected. the interface does use scarlet mix control. maybe i have to set up the routing in the mix control and in ableton??

alright so i got the corresponding inputs to match the outputs and send that strait to my board and its working just how i want it but it doesn't play back the loops that I've made. i can hear the bass or synth direct into the mains but there is no sound coming from the loops. i can hear the loops in my headphones but not in the speakers. any advice on how to get the loops to come through as well??
