Great for newbies; Logic veterans, not so much.
Logic Pro X may be the successor to the much-beloved 9, but it doesn't succeed on quite as many levels. Yes, it has new plugins (including a fantastic vocal editor that directly rivals Melodyne) and sounds, and if you're new to production or have recently 'graduated' from Garageband, then these will serve you well. But existing Logic users will be turned off by a rehauled workflow that caters more to newbies and fans of other DAWs than the way we knew and loved, as well as a distinct lack of 32-bit plugin support (a much-beloved feature of the previous version, and a big reason why many who upgrade to X return to 9).
Logic Pro X gives a lot of nice features, but it's not so much an upgrade so much as a shift from the previous version.
Review specifically for Logic Pro 9:
Logic Pro 9 is possibly one of the best DAWs on the market, surpassing even its successor Logic Pro X. Sure, it may only work with a proprietary plugin format (AU) and it doesn’t have a built-in performance mode like FL Studio or Ableton Live, but what it does have, it handles so masterfully and flexibly it’s hard to hold that against it. Logic Pro 9 is particularly good if you’re working with MIDI, though audio-oriented producers are certainly not left in the cold with Logic’s answer to Live’s Warp feature, Flex.
I personally use Logic Pro 9 to produce my own work, and I adore its workflow. Everything from the layout to the keyboard shortcuts flows beautifully, and whether I’m deepening a dubstep growl, brightening a eurobeat brass, or just plain dabbling in any of its stellar built-in plugins, Logic is a DAW that will heighten, not hinder, your productions.

i started music production kinda late and migrated from a setup consisting of pro tools and a pirated version of live to solely logic a year ago. out of curiosity, what features is logic pro x lacking in that logic pro 9 has?

There are literally no features missing but the UI was redesigned and refactored to make it easier to use and learn. Problem is, if you know how to use the older version, the new version would be disorienting for a while. My guess is that after a few months, they never thought about the old way the UI was organized. For new users, it is far more sensibly laid out.

Not perfect, but overall fantastic DAW
I've used Logic to write, record, arrange, mix, and master electronic music for the last few years. I'm very comfortable with the Apple ecosystem of apps, so when deciding between DAWs I naturally gravitated towards it. I used DAWs many years ago (Cakewalk) so I was already familiar with the general operation, but to learn the ins and outs of Logic I used "Logic Pro 9 Essential Training" from Lynda.com, and just followed along with all the videos.
I can't compare with Ableton, FL, Cubase, etc since I don't have experience with those, but I will say Logic Pro 9 has been a pleasure to learn and use. I think the best feature of a DAW is it's ability to sort of "stay out of the way" of the creative process, and Logic achieves that most of the way. Channel strips are great to recall your go-to plugin chains, the mixer view is intuitive, the piano roll is great, and the main arrange window is nice and provides lots of helpful context and menus around what you're doing.
If I had to point out a drawback, I would say it's automation, particularly snapping it to a grid. It can be infuriating snapping inflection points to the right places, in fact I think I've seen DJs complain on Twitter about how frustrating the automation can be.
And finally, Logic Pro 9's stock synths and plugins are nothing short of stellar. The ES M, ES1, ES2, and EXS24 (the sampler) are all very good synths in their own right. I've actually heard people say that if you are new to synthesis, you should exclusively learn ES1 and ES2 before moving on to third party synths (good advice I think). What I'm most impressed with is Logic's stock effects. Space Designer for reverb might be the only reverb you need. Channel EQ is a great equalizer (I stick one on every channel), the stereo spread fx are great, chorus/phaser/flanger and all that good stuff, and finally (very important for electronic music) the Compressor effect is pretty awesome. I was pretty new to compression, and Logic's Compressor helped me get a good grasp of it.

Smooth workflow, fun to use
It's a very easy-to-use DAW, but that doesn't mean it's basic at ALL — it's very fun to use and has lots of customization options. I don't think there are any bad parts at all, except maybe plugins.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I love Alchemy

The most reliable DAWs I have ever used.
Logic is the most reliable DAWs on macOS as developed along with the operative system. It is a "plug and play" software and this helps in terms of creativity. The price is lower than all the other DAWs and this includes the full assistance if you experience any technical issue and you won't pay for the updates.
It is very good if you work with MIDI.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
MIDI Piano Roll.

The only DAW I'd ever want to use
I'm very, very picky with music software - I couldn't stand Ableton, FL gave me a headache, Cubase had an off-putting business model, and Pro Tools is Pro Tools. Logic was the only one that vaguely resembled the old school MIDI sequencers I was used to, programs like XGWorks and Sekaiju, and so I took the plunge into the Apple ecosystem just for it. Suffice to say, that was the best choice I ever made for my music. Logic has the simplicity of those limited programs with the flexibility on par with any other industry contemporary. Best of all, it runs like a dream even on older Mac computers. Because of all that and the great built in plugins, and more, the title of this review rings true: it's the only DAW I'd ever want to use.
118
The best production tool.
I have been using Logic Pro since Apple acquired it (around 2002-2003?), and I wouldn't give it up for the world. I still dabble in Pro Tools when it is necessary, but as a songwriter's tool Logic takes the cake. In no other app have I had the ability to sit down at the computer with zero ideas as to where my song may be going and still have the ability to create from scratch easily. This app keeps getting better and better with every release.

I think this is a good excuse to buy a Mac :)

Very convenient and flexible DAW
It stands out as my favourite DAW, but is definitely still lacking in some areas. Automation editing requires manually drawing points in with no options for patterns and no grid snap. Tool orders and grid snap reset whenever reopening Logic - Can't set the pencil as the default tool or retain absolute snap to a particular grid size etc. The score editor is also primitive, nothing like a full notation software. Additionally, updates are extremely slow and nothing groundbreaking, although they have been free since Pro X. Otherwise very good in most aspects.

[In response to being asked what he uses to produce] "@Pabdelatorre95 fl studio and a bit of logic sometimes"
At the 0:07 mark in the video, you can see Avicii recording the vocals for "Taste the Feeling" in Logic Pro on his laptop. While his primary DAW was FL Studio, he used Logic Pro X for the vocal recordings, as indicated by some visible clues.
Hardwell says "Logic is definitely the program I would recommend. If you focus more on the workflow, I would recommend Ableton."
In a post on Calvin Harris's Instagram, he is seen using Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro.
In an article by William Kennedy for Eugene Weekly, Mac DeMarco is shown mixing and mastering one of his songs using Apple Logic Pro.
A Logic splash screen can be seen running on the mac in Tiesto's studio in his facebook update:
"Working in an old school set up tonight! #Studio #Stockholm #ThrowBackSunday"
"What I love about Logic Pro X is that you can import channel strips, including MIDI and bus routing. The way Benno and I work is, everything is hooked up to an old Apple server upstairs from my studio. That houses all of my samples and it’s fast enough that I can work from one server and have two projects open and streaming from it at the same time. Then Benno and I can each open the same project and, search for bass lines, import entire channel strips with MIDI or audio information, automation, or whatever, and efficiently combine our ideas." - Armin Van Buuren.
David Guetta uses Logic Pro as his main production software. You can see him in action with Logic in a masterclass YouTube video.
At one point in a YouTube video of Diplo in the studio he says "when I use logic, I use all stock plugins"

Nick is seen bouncing a new song in Logic Pro X in this photo posted to his Instagram.
At 1:12 in the movie there's some version of Logic on screen and later into the movie it visible again. He uses Logic only in the studio.
During a Reddit Ask Me Anything, Alesso mentions using a synthesizer built into Logic, ESP.
