Learn English – The meaning of cut in the sentence

The following quote is from Godfather book

As the weeks went by and he became busier and busier with getting the
script ready, casting the movie and working out production details,
Johnny Fontane forgot about his voice, his not being able to sing. Yet
when the academy award nominations came out and he found himself one
of the candidates, he was depressed because he was not asked to sing
one of the songs nominated for the Oscar at the ceremony that would be
televised nationally. But he shrugged it offand kept working. He had
no hope of winning the Academy Award now that his Godfather was no
longer able to put pressure on, but getting the nomination had some
value.

The record he and Nino had cut, the one of Italian songs, was selling
much better that anything he had cut lately, but he knew that it was
Nino's success more than his.

I'm a little confused by the last sentence I provided, particualrly by the meaining of cut in here. What is that?

The thing is that I'm used to use that word with vegatables. Like cut vegatables or something similar.
