How can you clearly see overlapping soundbites and their edges?
Can I know where the background soundbites ends (or starts)?
Can I delete overlapping soundbites automatically?
Maybe I just shouldn't worry about it, I'm trying to learn DP and some things are really different from other softwares...
Thank you

Re: How do you see overlapping soundbites?
Great question.
Some other DAWs, Mixbus for example let you display overlapping sound files in stacks. As of DP 10, I don’t think there is a purpose built way to do it.
But a reasonable workaround is to add a load of takes to the track in the Sequence Editor. With that in place, you can go to the first of the takes that appear in the lanes below (using “show takes”) and drag each of the soundbites to their own Take lane. Use Shift drag and the soundbites won’t shift in the timeline.
Now, to get what you want to actually appear in the track, you’ll have to use the comp tool and process. But unless you just want to use and hear whatever was already appearing in the track with the overlapping soundbites, that’s probably what you’d want to do anyway.
(Of course you can just drag the soundbites to other tracks to see them too.)
