Proposal

A MusicBrainz recording represents audio that was copied or mastered to create at least one released track.

In other words, a recording corresponds to a step in the audio production process before any final mastering but after any editing or mixing.

In MusicBrainz, a recording typically features in a track on a release by an artist.
