audiotaping
Making audio recordings
Audiotaping is recording sound on magnetic tape, or more broadly, making any audio recording.
The term persists from the era when tape was the standard medium: The interview was audiotaped for later transcription.
Now often replaced by simply "recording," though audiotaping still appears in legal and institutional contexts where the method of capture matters.
