How to change whole project tempo and stretch audio tracks to fit?

[Bass Guitar]

It’s in the Help menu just like all software. 
 

But I simply Googled “Cakewalk Next Users Guide “ and found the PDF.

Sonar has a great tool called AudioSnap. Select the entire project by pressing Ctrl+A, then launch AudioSnap. Click the Clip Follows Project button and select Auto stretch from the context menu on the right. After these steps, any changes to the project's tempo will be applied to all audio clips. It's important to select the Elastique Pro algorithm in the Offline section. This will significantly improve the rendering quality.

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!!

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?

On the clip you want to render, right click and select Bounce To Clip.

You may want to check the clip properties in the Inspector first to see what you have set to render clips with. Elastique Pro and Radius Mix are really good choices.
