Making Record/Recording work like a tape recorder with overwrite being default in a project

[kingminotaur]

I'm sure there's an embarrassingly simple answer, but I couldn't find it:

I want,  most of the time, to NOT create track folders, or alternate takes, I find I just end up confused and indecisive about takes. 

I only want multiple take folders when I am doing the lead vocal track. 

Having subfolders and multiple takes on other tracks tends to get me bogged down with too much material in varying layers of findability.

I  want record on a track to start recording, and overwrite whatever may be there-- like a tape recorder does/did. 

Thanks

Enable Replace mode.

As @Jordi Torres mention and besides project recording settings, a long click on the transport bar Record button will reveal different modes of record operations.
