Hello, My friend and I recorded Paul's new song and wanted to get some feedback/critique on it, everything from the playing to the mixing/mastering. Trying to get a pro sound.  My Interface is the 18i20 Focusrite Scarlett. Going direct with bass and guitar using Guitar Rig. Drums are micd with sm57s and Audix d6 for the kick all going in to the 18i20.

I haven't heard Paul's version yet - but this is pretty cool.

Sorry, but I don't download songs to my computer. You can get a free site at SoundClick and the people will most likely listen am give more response.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Great performances and a really nice, clean recording. 
Listening on crappy speakers but the things that jumped out were an imbalance in the stereo field - the vocal panning makes the lead vocal sound a bit detached from the rest of the mix. Guitar and bass need to come up in the mix too.
All just my humble opinion - but that was what you asked for :)

Thanks for your feedback ! Does that mean I should pan vocals to the center?

well, everything is 'artistic interpretation' but, yes, I certainly would.
For what it's worth, I usually keep the main vocal dead center and pan the BV's slightly off to one side
