A ballad I wrote in 2012,a good friend of mine played the piano part.
It is again in french but I have typed the lyrics in the song description.

Hi Olivier,
 
I enjoy listening to your songs...
 
Thanks for adding the lyrics, which I had to "google translate," so I got the idea. 
 
And thanks for sharing 
 
cheers

Hi Andy,

Thanks a lot for listening.
I will soon leave a comment on your music which is fairly well conceived and well realized.

Hello Olivier,
 
I just listened to "Soleil De Paris" and consider it to be a very nice and well made ballad.  All instruments are clear and distinct.  I was very impressed with the soundscape of the acoustic and electric guitars as well as the electric bass.  I like the way you left the electric guitar in the mix after the first solo.  By the way, you did not mention if that was you, or someone else, singing the vocal but it is a pleasent voice that sits well in the mix.
 
Some suggestions:
Snare drum brushes sounded nice but the tom hits and ride cymbal were not as pronounced.  I would pan the ride cymbal more to the right of center.  I would also boost higher frequencies on tom and ride cymbal.  Alternately, ask drummer to retrack tom hits and ride cymbal using stick instead of brush then mix the two sounds together.
There is very little lateral blending of the channels.  You have three lateral spaces: left, center and right.  At the same time, your use of effects is very effective as you build a very nice sounding soundscape.  You may want to consider using effects to help blend the lateral space into a whole by panning the the instrument and the effect opposite each other.  For instance if you have the acoustic guitar panned 30% left then pan either the guitar delay, reverb or both 30% right.

Hi,
Thank you for listening and posting comments.
Thanks also for the tip with the drumming( SD2) I didn't imagine to blend brushes and sticks and I will give it a deeper look.
Concerning the stereo image ,I always struggle trying to widen the mix but barely reach satisfying results ,will also give a deeper look to your suggestion .
I am the singer😎.
Cheers,
Olivier

Olivier, this is a very fine ballad and a refreshing change of pace.  The panning suggestion is a good one, though I wasn't distracted in any way by the way it is now.  The main thing that caught my ear was the sizzle in the background which I finally figured was the brushes.  They lacked definition but were not unpleasant.  A tweak or two and this is a gem.

Hi,
Thanks to all for the way you welcome songs here.
I tried to build a better mix on " Soleil De Paris" folowing different tips I took here and there, not such an easy job because I think my ears sometime go ...deaf ,also Sonar sometime crashes ,so ...everything is allwright but I hear on this song a kind of a saturation and I'm not able to tell where it comes from.
Anyway here is a new try ,and I think I will have to work on it in the coming days.
Thanks again for your comments and for your positve advices.
Cheers ,
Olivier

A nicely written song.  Very pleasant to the ear.  The piano part is lovely.  I also love the lead guitar work.  
 
Good work.
