A stereophonic sound recording method, apparatus and a terminal pertain to the field of audio and video technologies. The method includes acquiring an initial gesture parameter of the terminal when recording starts, where the terminal is equipped with two or more microphones; acquiring a current gesture parameter of the terminal in a recording process; acquiring a gesture change parameter of the terminal when it is determined, according to the current gesture parameter and initial gesture parameter of the terminal, that a gesture of the terminal changes; acquiring, according to the gesture change parameter of the terminal, a weight factor corresponding to the gesture change parameter of the terminal; and separately writing, according to the weight factor corresponding to the gesture change parameter of the terminal, audio data collected by the two or more microphones into a left channel and a right channel.
