Are tracks the same like layers which I already know from other media server software?
No! Tracks are just helpers to order your Clip Containers. Tracks can have some track based settings but there is no layer restriction like other software has. Tracks and Clip Containers are flexible objects - like you may already know from Video editing or compositing software
