__TOC__
A recording is an entity in MusicBrainz which can be linked to [[Track|tracks]] on [[Release|releases]]. Each track must always be associated with a single recording, but a recording can be linked to any number of tracks.

A recording represents distinct audio that has been used to produce at least one released track through copying or [[Mix_Terminology#mastering|mastering]]. A recording itself is never produced solely through copying or mastering.

Generally, the audio represented by a recording corresponds to the audio at a stage in the production process before any final mastering but after any editing or [[Mix_Terminology#mixing|mixing]].

The diagram below shows some examples of recorded audio, recordings and released tracks and the relationships between them:
