There are some cheap tricks that you can use on a mix, such as:

1- Inverting the left channel and mixing it into the right channel at -4 dB, and vica versa.

2- As above, but adding a 2 ms of straight delay to the cross-feed signals. (This is about IACC/HRTF, not Haas, for those that care....)

3- Taking the pure wet signal from a dense MONO reverb and mixing it into L and R in opposite phases. (Eg- return it to L "in phase" and return it to R "out of phase.")

However,

Most of what you hear on commercial recordings has probably been done with a special-purpose signal processor (or plug-in), such as Q-Sound or Roland RSS.
