recording
Captured sound file
A recording is a preserved version of sound, images, or data—captured so it can be played back later.
Music albums, podcasts, and voicemails are recordings.
The word also names the act of making such a capture: We finished recording last night.
A recording artist makes music commercially.
To set the record straight or go on the record uses the related sense of documented evidence.
