The invention discloses a recording scene mode switching method and a recording scene mode switching mode device. A terminal provided by the invention is used to acquire a vibration signal aiming at the terminal during the recording in the recording scene mode. Whether the vibration signal is the vibration signal generated by the terminal after being knocked by the user can be identified, and when the answer is yes, the corresponding switching instruction can be acquired according to the vibration signal, and the switching instruction is switched to the required target recording scene mode, and then according to the switching instruction, the current recording scene mode can be switched to the target recording scene mode. By adopting the technical scheme, the switching of the current recording scene mode of the trigger terminal of the motion of the user knocking the terminal to the target recording scene mode can be identified according to the vibration signal. Compared to the prior art, the switching efficiency of the recording scene mode can be improved, and the recording is not required to be interrupted, and therefore the recording efficiency and the audio frequency quality of the terminal can be improved.
