Mixing vocal mixing/ vocalign. Minor tuning etc.

I am in the final stretches to prepare a handful of songs.

I have drums recorded by a session drummer. Dry. From airgig, Jaimee Parks. He is really good.

The guitars I record at home through UAD Apollo solo/ neive rndi D.I.
I have tones that I love from my Helix that I was recording with.
Bass is d.i same way.
Vocals I go into UAD Apollo with cloud lifter and sure sm7b. I have no clue how to properly edit set compression ... etc so I go dry there also.

I want to have a thick vocal sound.
.I tried to learn vocalign but not having much luck.
How many vox are too many? I usually double track and quad track chorus etc. How many would be good for an in your face vox production, but also sound thick?

I'll upload first demo to mix..which I have re record Ed vocals for and will need to fix couple parts in guitar.

And new half song I was working on .which I just went dry alone vox track.

I've only used two mix engineers before, One I had a really hard time with and my last one I was happy with but looking for more rawness but edgy/punk/hard rock
