Well,
After posting a sample here and taking into consideration the feedback I got, I changed quiet a few things in the track and made a complete verison. The melody is changed, there's more elements, and just a better atmosphere i think. Here it is, comments are welcome:

Pretty nice track you got there I must say. I like the progression and little elements such as the breakbeat in the track. Piano is nice as usual in your tunes, sound fantastic. Bassline is perhaps a tad simple, but it works for me.

The piano you're using, is it a sample, or does it come from a synth?

Take care,
Wim

Hey Wim,
Thanks for the comments, as well as everyone else. The piano is just a standard sample in reason. Take care.

Sounds great, but i still don't like the filtering on the lead, it definitely sounds like a sawlead + too much white noise that has been filtered down with some decay in the filter envelope.

Otherwise great.

Wait, what exactly do you mean?

I dunno how else to explain it, there's something about the lead. It's like a really resonant sound that distracts me from the melody. I figured that it was white noise because it was atonal. The lead sounds great when its fully filtered up, but during the parts of the track where its filtered down it sounds off to me.

Yea i know what you mean, but that's the whole reason why I left it only partially unfiltered in the main part, because then it fills up a lot of frequencies in the middle range and gives the track fullness...but when it's fully unfiltered, it sounds a bit empty to me. But then you're right too about the noise, I'm definitely aware of that noise when the lead is only partially unfiltered because it's so rich in the middle frequencies that it starts clipping. Do you think it'd be good to have it fully unfiltered in the main part as well?

nice track indeed

good use of the standard reason effects..

i don't quite like the piano, it sounds a bit "artificial", if you know what i mean.
otherwise it's pretty good, nice melody..

relaxing track.

Wow! Very nice track here, sounds great. Loving the piano melody you have, and the use of effects is very good.

In general, it just sounds so 'nice'.
