regravaram

Regravaram is a Portuguese verb form meaning "they re-recorded." It is the pretérito perfeito do indicativo of regravar, which means to record again, to overdub, or to redo a recording. The prefix re- signals repetition or restoration, and gravar refers to recording sounds or images. Therefore, regravaram indicates that a recording was redone by a subject in the third person plural.

Grammatical notes: regravar is a regular -ar verb when formed with the prefix re-. The infinitive is regravar; the gerund is regravando; the past participle is regravado. The pretérito perfeito conjugation for the third person plural is regravaram (Eles regravaram a faixa). Other person forms include eu regravei and ele regravou, depending on tense and subject.

Usage: The term is commonly used in music production, film and video post-production, broadcasting, and other media contexts where a take or track is recorded again. It can refer to redoing vocals, instruments, dialogue, or entire soundtracks, and can be used literally or metaphorically to describe repeating or updating a recording process.
