studio album
Non-live musical release
A studio album is a collection of recordings made in a recording studio, as opposed to live performances or compilations of previously released material.
It typically represents an artist's primary creative statement for a given period: The band's third studio album debuted at number one.
Most musicians count their discography by studio albums rather than live records or greatest hits collections.
