Present in the recording (4)

I believe the answer is:

here

'present' is the definition.
(both can mean in attendance)

'in the recording' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'HERE' is hidden within 'the recording'.

(Other definitions for here that I've seen before include ""___ be dragons" (old map inscription?)" , "To hand" , "On this spot" , "Present - at this point" , "Hither" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
