On some songs I see people credited with doing mixing. I looked it up and I don’t understand. Is there a difference between mixing and throwing a vocal and instrumental together?

Mixing is literally throwing a vocal and all the other instruments together, but doing so in a way that lets each instrument have its own ‘place in the mix’ is a skill.
Volume of each track is chosen.
Position of each is chosen (basically left or right speaker).
Effects applied to each is chosen.
There are other things considered but that’s the basics.
Only after each of these things has been done for each track (each instrument) will you have a ‘mixed’ song. Some songs you hear everyday could have…96 tracks easily.
