How do you say recording in spanish?

The Word record has more than one meaning in English, therefore different translations in Spanish. "Record", as a file is "archivo"; the act of filing is "archivar"; "record" as a disk with music is "gravacion"; as in the act of making a disc is "gravar". When used as in "setting a new record", the Word is spelled the same in Spanish.

Ah, nooo, grabar is to record music for example. Gravar is a legal document, as in gravement. It could be tricky.
