overdubbed

Recorded vocals later

Overdubbed describes audio that has had additional sounds or recordings layered onto it after the original was captured.

In music production, vocals or instruments are overdubbed onto existing tracks: The guitar solo was overdubbed in a later session.

In film, dialogue may be overdubbed to replace location audio or translate into another language.
