So i checking out waveform 14 beta and it work well for me in Linux. This is not a 14 thing but something i find hard to understand in earler versions also. I mainly work in Reaper and have just tested waveform.
When i record something on one track and want to record over this or just punch in/out i have to remove or mute the earler recordings. Otherwise i can hear all the other recording i have done wile i try to record over it.
The way that would be best is like its in Reaper or Logic for instance. The latest recording is the one that i hear, even when i record over something else.
It has to be possible to do for waveform to work that way?

Settings -> Advanced -> Mute track contents whilst recording

The way Waveform tracks work in general is that if the clip isn't muted, it plays. You can layer clips on top of other clips.
Surely there must be consensus by now...

Thanx! Will try it out.
When you say "layer clips on top of other" is there a way to see them all like in a list view?

I am not aware of any way to do that. Honestly, it's less organized than I would like. I like the flexibility but find selection a bother. There seems to be a hotkey to "move selected clips to back of z-order" (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Z) but I can't find a non-hotkey way to do it and can't find anything in any documentation.

Tested this and that is not what i mean. If i have a track with a recording on it and i want to punch in/out for 2 seconds in this 5 minute track(recording). With this on i wont hear anything but my own guitar(for instance). The best solution would be to hear the first recording and my guitar until i come to the punch in and then i only hear my guitar as i record the new stuff.
I then hear ALL the recordings over each other and i have to mute all but the latest my self.
