HOW MANY STACKS SHOULD I DO RECORDING AND HOW TO MAKE THE VOCALS RIDE THE MIX NOT TOO LOW AND NOT TOO HIGH AND GIVE IT THAT PROFESSIONAL EDGE
Well, asking this kind of question means you really have no idea about what mixing involves. Because each song will need its own different processes done to it. There is no do this and then do that to get a pro sound.

The best thing for you to do, is to learn the tools you have and absorb as much info about mixing as you can. Then start mixing and in due time, you'll build up your skills and ears.

Your ears will tell you what needs to be done to a mix, not a forum. Every song is different. Each song will need different things. Your ears and your knowledge and imagination will dictate what you do to your mix

Here some tips I wrote: This are written in very simple terms:
