adding MIDI Control Change events on top of recorded live performance.

<p>
Results of recording in layered and non-layered modes are visually the same.
However, with the sound-on-sound mode lower layers are visible under upper
layers, because in that case new regions with overdubs are created with
disabled <em>Opaque</em> setting.

The screenshot on the right shows the subtle difference between an overdub To illustrate the difference, here is the screenshot of the same tracks, but
in <dfn>normal mode</dfn> (upper track) and one in <dfn>non-layered mode</dfn> this time&nbsp;&mdash; in <em>Stacked</em> track mode (rather than
(lower track). Both tracks were created using identical audio data. <em>Overlaid</em> as on the screenshot above).
</p>
<p>
The upper track shows a new region which has been <dfn>layered on
top</dfn> of the the existing (longer) region. It can be seen by the region
name strips.
</p>
<p>
The lower track has split the existing region in two, trimmed each new
region to create space for the new overdub, and inserted the overdub region
in between.
</p>
<p>
The switch between normal and non-layered modes is a global setting available
in the main toolbar.

<p>
The overdub is an opaque region on top of the original content for the
<em>Layered</em> mode. For the <em>Non-Layered</em> mode, it completely
replaces the matching part of the original content. And for the
<em>Sound on Sound</em> mode, it's a transparent region on top of the original
content.
</p>
<p>
The switch between layered, non-layered, and sound-on-sound modes is a global
setting available in the main toolbar right below the buttons enabling
Punch In and Punch Out.
