Getting Started
First, let's get a couple of things straight. Logic Pro is not any better or worse than any other major DAW on the market.
As someone who used almost every major DAW, the only difference between them is their workflow. And the workflows and user interfaces are quite similar between Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase, Studio One and Universal Audio's new DAW, Luna. If you know how to use one these, you can easily switch between them and experiment. They're more or less the same with different shortcuts. If you use Ableton, the workflow could be a little bit different if you want it to. But in the end your music won't sound any different whether you made it in FL studio or Pro Tools. And Logic is just another fully-featured Digital Audio Workstation that you can use.

The major difference between these DAW's are their price and what you get when you buy it. This is where Logic shines. There are no different editions, no track limits between versions, no subscriptions, no fees on updates. Nothing. You buy Logic and you get the full package and it comes with tons of goodies.
