A recording method, wherein the method is applied to a terminal that comprises two sound channels, at least two audio sensor units, and at least one photographing unit, and the method comprises: acquiring a placement status parameter of the terminal according to current placement status of the terminal, wherein the placement status parameter includes vertical-direction and upside-up state, vertical-direction and upside-down state, transverse-direction and upside-up state, transverse-direction and upside-down state, or inclined placement state; determining that one photographing unit of the at least one photographing unit is in a started state; determining a recording correspondence between the at least two audio sensor units and the two sound channels according to the acquired placement status parameter and the determined photographing unit in the started state; and adjusting volume of the at least two audio sensor units according to the recording correspondence between the at least two audio sensor units and the two sound channels, so that a difference between volume that passes through the two sound channels is less than a preset threshold; wherein the method further comprises: storing a recording policy of determining, according to placement status of the terminal and the photographing unit in the started state, the recording correspondence between the audio sensor units and the sound channels; and the determining a recording correspondence between the at least two audio sensor units and the two sound channels according to the acquired placement status parameter and the determined photographing unit in the started state is specifically: querying the recording policy according to the acquired placement status parameter and the determined photographing unit in the started state, so as to determine the recording correspondence between the at least two audio sensor units and the two sound channels. acquiring a placement status parameter of the terminal according to current placement status of the terminal, wherein the placement status parameter includes vertical-direction and upside-up state, vertical-direction and upside-down state, transverse-direction and upside-up state, transverse-direction and upside-down state, or inclined placement state; determining that one photographing unit of the at least one photographing unit is in a started state; determining a recording correspondence between the at least two audio sensor units and the two sound channels according to the acquired placement status parameter and the determined photographing unit in the started state; and adjusting volume of the at least two audio sensor units according to the recording correspondence between the at least two audio sensor units and the two sound channels, so that a difference between volume that passes through the two sound channels is less than a preset threshold; storing a recording policy of determining, according to placement status of the terminal and the photographing unit in the started state, the recording correspondence between the audio sensor units and the sound channels; and the determining a recording correspondence between the at least two audio sensor units and the two sound channels according to the acquired placement status parameter and the determined photographing unit in the started state is specifically: querying the recording policy according to the acquired placement status parameter and the determined photographing unit in the started state, so as to determine the recording correspondence between the at least two audio sensor units and the two sound channels.
