misrecording
Getting it wrong
Misrecording is capturing something incorrectly—getting the facts wrong in a written account, or failing to properly capture audio or video.
A historian might misrecord a date; a studio engineer might misrecord a take.
The noun refers to an instance of such error: The misrecording of the interview meant starting over.
