To my knowledge, before the use of computers in audio recording, to cut out errors etc. producers had to physically cut the tape from the analogue recorder and glue it back together. Especially the last part I can’t really comprehend. How do you glue together two loose ends of a tape without any overlapping exactly at the right place and without hearing any errors, stutters or something on the final recording?

The tape they used for the splice is “clear” to the magnetic process that reads the sounds. But yes, it’s literally tape.
I used to do these back in the 70s, both audio and 8/16mm film. I had one like this (not exactly, but very close) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD0Bc9eTBQ8
