Hope to see you there!
Strong sound! I love the boldness. It's a simple but well put together track. There are a few tuning issues here and there, which need addressing... the higher pitched, sung vocals that come in around 1.30 are not in the same key as the rest of the track. A less obvious issue is the alternating between major and minor key - for the most of the song you're in a minor one but the main bass sound that comes in at various points has an obvious major third interval going on - this is a common issue with a lot of presets that use the 5th harmonic - these often get used in songs in a minor key!
The overall ideas you've got going on as well as the production quality, big sound etc. are all really good though, so there's huge potential!
The next installment in the Future Rave series is already here! In this one, you can learn how to make a high energy lead patch with Vital, for creating a big sound in a Future Rave/EDM drop.
As well as sound design techniques, there are plenty of tips on composition, as the original melodic ideas from part 1 are transformed into a phrase more suited to the section of the track where the dancefloor is kicking off!
Check Part 2 HERE.
Enjoy! 
A decent condenser is recommended. And a pop shield! Although you can just use some tights over a coat hanger if you want to be old school!
RODE are a quality home studio brand, although there are cheaper, nice alternatives too.
You didn't have to wait long for the next part of this series btw - Part 2 OUT NOW!
Vital is very much the synth of the moment, along with Phase Plant I would say. I love both! These days, I would say go for Vital over Serum, although Serum does have a lot of great presets yes. Vital offers a bit more and is really user friendly. They are closely-matched though!
Brand new bonus tutorial for members this week. Part 1 of a new series looking at Future Rave. This first part shows how to build a massive pad sound from the ground up with Vital.
Check it HERE.
The plan is to make a lengthy series that looks at sound design, composition, arranging, mixing and lots more! Look out for part 2 over the coming weeks...
Just uploaded the first tutorial in a new Future Rave series, which ticks off quite a few of your requests already Petter. I think you'll enjoy this series!
By the way, Simon M, we have sooo many tutorials on Ableton, I wouldn't really know where to start! What areas would you like more help on? We're also about to start a brand new Ableton 12 course programme, beginners and advanced - hopefully side by side. Releases will be staggered throughout the year. In the meantime though, if there are any specific bits you're finding tricky, let us know and we can address them in bonus tuts and streams...
Some great suggestions thanks Petter!
Seppa's done a few courses with Vital actually. Did you check out the Advanced Guide to Synthesis?
I'll try and address all those points in the upcoming bonus tutorials...
