You can do that technique without Elastique Pro.  He's not doing any time stretching in that video....purely cutting and moving, then slip editing the ends of clips to fill the void.

Elastique Pro doesn't add any functionality to Sonar, it's just a more "advanced" algorithm for doing what it does. There are other stretching and pitching algorithms that come with Sonar FT. They're the ones that SONAR Platinum had. Elastique Pro wasn't added until Cakewalk by BandLab.

When Sonar FT came along, I tried some brief experiments with the different algorithms and determined that the presence or absence of Elastique Pro isn't something I'd ever notice with my current usage of the DAW. Mostly what I stretch is lower fidelity dialog samples, and when I do use it on music, it's not extreme and it's surrounded by other mix elements.

As HOOK says, that feller isn't doing any stretching, it's just editing. Editing is no different between SonarFT and SonarPre.

To be clear...  when the smart tool is active:

  • ALT + Left Click will make the split,  or alternatively pressing the "S" key will split all selected clips at the current now time.
  • ALT + Shift + Left button moves the waveform within the clip 
  • If you want everything to be moved together, add all the clips to the same clip group - e.g. select all the clips, then right click and pick "Create new Selection Group from Selection".   When you do this, selecting one clip will automatically select all other clips in the group.   Depending on your workflow, you may also want to check "When Splitting Clips in Groups, Create New Groups" within Preferences->Customization->Editing.
  • As an alternative to using ALT+Shift+Left, you could use the keypad to nudge the clips.  This might be more appropriate if you're using selection groups, as it'll nudge all related clips by the same amount
