Audio tracks in Ardour have a <dfn>mode</dfn> which affects how they behave
when recording:

new data is written to new files, and when overdubbing, new regions will be
layered on top of existing ones. This is the recommended mode for most
workflows.

<th>Non-Layered</th>
<td>
Tracks using <dfn>non-layered mode</dfn> will record
non-destructively&mdash;new data is written to new files, but when
overdubbing, the existing regions are trimmed so that there are no overlaps.
This does not affect the previously recorded audio data, and trimmed regions
can be expanded again at will. Non-layered mode can be very useful for spoken
word material, especially in combination with
<a href="@@pushpull-trimming">push/pull trimming</a>.

Tracks using <dfn>Sound on Sound mode</dfn> will record
non-destructively&nbsp;&mdash; new data is written to new files, but when
overdubbing, new regions will be layered on top of existing ones in non-opaque
mode which means both existing and new material will be played back after
the recording is over. This is convenient for a variety of use cases, such as
adding MIDI Control Change events on top of recorded live performance.
