It feels absurd to even type that. LOL!
That's not what you are actually asking for, when answered you'll say "so what are the tricks to get that pro commercial sound". No tricks, maybe you should only learn classic textbook recording techniques for awhile. Good engineers know such and they simply apply good recording principles with no regard to tricks. Once they have used that knowledge to properly capture and mix all the tracks, it suddenly sounds "commercial" whoda thunk?

Think of it this way, trying using all the pro commercial tricks on nothing but tape hiss.... does the tape hiss suddenly sound pro?
