tape-recorded
Sound on reels
Tape-recorded describes something captured on magnetic tape, typically audio or video: a tape-recorded interview, tape-recorded evidence.
The term persists even as the technology has largely been replaced by digital recording, sometimes used loosely for any recorded material.
