Abstract —  This  paper  describes  a  method  for  planning, recording, and post-production of six-degrees-of-freedom audio recorded   with   multiple   3rd  order   Ambisonic   microphone arrays. The description is based on the example of recordings conducted  in  August  2020  with  the  Poznan  Philharmonic Orchestra using 30 units of Zylia ZM-1S. A convenient way to prepare and organize such a big project is proposed – this involves details of stage planning, collecting needed equipment, management,  and  running  the  recording.  Additionally,  the placement  of 2D  and 360  cameras as  well as  the design  of moving  camera  paths  are  described.  Two  use  cases  of  the collected  Ambisonic  audio  are  proposed.  The  first  one  is  a production of a virtual reality application using Unreal Engine 4 and Wwise. The second one uses a combination of the virtual scene from the previously mentioned application and a footage from   a   mobile,   moving   camera   to   create   a   so-called “walkthrough movie”. The proposed approach for six-degrees- of-freedom Ambisonic interpolation was evaluated on listening tests. Those tests demonstrate that it is possible to recreate a navigable 3D audio taking into account Ambisonic only input and given assumptions for microphone placement.
