prerecordings

Stored audio beforehand

Prerecordings are audio or video recordings made in advance of their intended use.

A talk show may use prerecordings when a guest can't appear live.

Musicians layer prerecordings into live performances.

The term emphasizes that the material was captured beforehand rather than produced in real time: The concert relied heavily on prerecordings.
