Yes, that page is on the Australian localized version of the Apple site, so the information is destined for Australians where it's almost one day earlier than in the US.

In fact it's already May 13 in Australia right now.

Looks like the Australian release date is May 14 then. The US release is still May 13.

Where do you see this?

I'm not sure which Logic version you're using, on your screenshot it appears like you may use an older version with a customized GUI. For reference, in Logic Pro 10.8.1. Control + S is assigned by default to Engage Solo Tracks (Channel Strips) of Selected Regions/Cells. In earlier versions of Logic Pro that same shortcut was assigned to Toggle Region Solo (a.k.a. Solo Mode) which may have carried over if you were using an older Logic Pro version on your current Mac before updating to 10.8.1. On your screenshot you are in Region Solo Lock Mode, which happens when you Control + click the Solo button in your Control bar and choose Solo Lock, or use a custom key command assignment for Set Solo Lock Mode. In Solo Lock Mode, whatever regions were selected when you engaged Solo Lock remain soloed, no matter what you select afterwards.

Shift, not Option. Start dragging then press and hold the keys as you continue dragging.

What I do is start dragging then hold down Control + Shift as I drag, to temporarily disable snapping.

I'm afraid you have to write them out in the new key.

Any equipment connected to your Mac?

Definitely! Great tip, thanks. 🙂

Choose Logic Pro > Key Commands > Edit Assignments, click one of the commands to make sure the list of commands has the key focus, then press the spacebar a few times to see what it's assigned to. Is it assigned to Mute?

Definitely agree, each method has its pros and cons, thanks for adding yours! 🙂

On the screenshots on Apple.com the Browsers button is still intact on the far right of the Control bar.

There's a quicker way which is: Make sure you set the channel strip's input format to mono. Command + Option + click the region to Marquee-select it. Command + Shift + click a bit before the region start or a bit after the region end to extend the Marquee selection. Press Command + J to join.

Oh you're right, I hadn't noticed it! Good catch. 🙂
