If you record one voice at a time, the simplest way is to use just a single track. You can cut it up later and distribute the pieces to as many tracks as you like for mixing. > Because I needed to add new tracks I tried to add multiple at once and > got silence rather a recording on some of them.

Probably Ardour's autoconnect feature alternated between the two channels of a stereo sound card. So every second track would get silence unless you change the connection manually. It's a 'feature' :-). Autoconnects are the first thing I disable whenever I install Ardour, it almost always does the wrong thing. > So the lack of knowledge on how to properly track and organise using > Ardour slowed the recordings down a whole lot.

You probably need to get to know Ardour a bit more. Even if you accidentally record 'over' an existing track that's no problem, the two recordings are in different regions and you can easily separate them.
