Yes, I had Elastique Pro selected. I had a left and right track for a single guitar performance that got comb-filtery after I bounced them. The source was coming out of a Boss WAZA Tube Amp Expander, which I how I record all my guitars from real amps now. The L and R from the TAE are not quite identical. If I reverse the polarity of one side, it does not fully cancel the other. While they sounded together good before, I think the bounce exacerbated the phase problem. Just one alone sounds fine. I ended up using a process close to what sjoens recommended, and now I have a new tempo for the project. Thanks to everyone!

Well, this did indeed work. And then SONAR crashed before I could save the project. I'll try again, but the tone was ruined on the guitar performance I wanted to keep. This was expected. I'll just have to record it again at the new tempo (sigh). Other scratch tracks like the vocal melody I played on keyboard for the singer for later came through fine. When AutoSnap is on like this, does it always draw extra CPU? Is there a way to process the snap to the tracks with a new tempo and then turn it off?

This is fantastic if it will work for my purpose!!! I cannot, however, find the Auto Stretch option you mention. In the upper right is a Set AutoSnap Options button, but that takes me to Preferences, where i don't an Auto Stretch option. Could this have changed? There is also an Average Tempo option on the Palette. Is this necessary to set the new tempo? Thanks!!

I think the bounce to tracks command window could use an overhaul. The "Source" control should only indicate the tracks to be bounced and not the output of the bounce. The "Channel Format" control should determine the type of output and only that. The terminology of the bounce to track window is not user-friendly. The bounce should only be of the tracks selected with no passing through a bus--unless that options is selected.

This is an important part, as I had to discover.

Where's the manual? Thanks!

Awesome!!! Thanks sjoens.

Ok, I found Elastique Pro in the AudioSnap Palette, but I have no experience in using that function. Is there any tutorial or documentation on how to use AudioSnap generally? I would hope that I could convert each track to a new tempo using it, as you explain above, Bass Guitar. Hey BandLab, how about some updated video tutorials or text documentation how to use this and other functions in Sonar? I really miss the days of printed Sonar manuals.

In the past (like 10 years ago), I have exported each track and processed them individually in Sound Forge with Elastique Timestretch, which doesn't seem to be available anymore. Its functions now seem to be included in Elastique Prol. Somehow, since it's on my computer, Timestretch has shown up in the Sonar plugin manager as a DX plugin. I assume I can just use it in Sonar. But don't we get Elastic Pro included in the paid version of Sonar? I can't seem to find it.

Wow, this sounds more difficult than I thought. Could there be a feature request here, something similar to what Mixcraft does? I was hoping it would be just that easy.

Well, gosh darn it, I have recorded about 12 audio tracks in a Sonar project and then realized that the tempo is too bouncy and I need to slow the song down by maybe only a couple of beats-per-minute. Luckily, my drums are provided by Superior Drummer, so they will change with any project tempo change. But I would appreciate any advice on how to change the entire project tempo and stretch the audio tracks to fit. Should I just change the project tempo from the start and then grab and stretch the ends of each track to the ends of the (altered) measures? There is a video on YouTube about finalizing the stretch with Elastique Pro. (I have paid SONAR.) Any other tutorials or documentation you are aware of? Thanks for any help!!!

Yeah, but I had to click the X every day to close the message--every time I launched. Too much extra work! Haha. Why would anyone want to be online during a session? True story: a client of mine was in the middle of a guitar solo--a good performance to that point--when an update message from Windows popped on the screen. Client noticed it and lost concentration, messing up the take. After that, I didn't want my music computer online. Not sure how offline activation works. I'll check it out when the time comes.

Build 109 (membership version) has been very stable on my Win 10 system for what I'm doing--not much with midi, mostly audio tracking. At first I missed the appearance of old Cakewalk--the black lines between tracks seemed to be thicker--but the new look Sonar is really growing on me, and it does seem to be sharper and easier on the eyes. I appreciate that the nag screen to connect to the Internet for full features has been moved to a line on the startup/projects window. I stay off-line as much as possible. So, I'm digging it.

This makes free version pretty much unusable for me.

Relatively new member. I find the frequent online activations unnecessary and annoying. Of course I can disconnect from the Internet afterwards, but being forced to renew activations every couple of months or whatever is weirdly totalitarian.
