I've never done it in Sonar but there's a great standalone tool I use to change time and pitch.

Pretty sure it can't be done in X2.   Riffmaster Pro is another slowdowner worth checking out, and there are others.

If you move the pointer to the end of a clip it turns blue. Press the Ctrl button and it turns yellow. Press and hold the left mouse button and you"ll see a percentage symbol. Drag while holding the mouse button to the right and experiment to find the tempo you want to work from. If the echo gets too overbearing highlight the section by clicking on that part of the clip and dragging through it. Right click on that section and from the drop down menu choose "Bounce to Clip(s)". This action will eliminate the annoying echo.

I use it all the time transcribing solos. You might want to open a new folder in Projects and name it Transcriptions. That way you"ll know just where to go and or work on something. Welcome to the forums Magik! Don't be afraid to ask questions on anything no matter how dumb you may think they sound. Everyone in the forums were new at one time so most will be glad to give a helping hand. I hope I have helped. Good luck and HAVE FUN!

Pretty sure it can't be done in X2.

Everything you can possibly think of, "production wise," can be done in Sonar.  The program is beyond deep.  It is endless.  

too many lasers...

If you have amplitube you can do it with that. There's also Slow Gold that works like a champ too.

Try using audiosnap.
 
rip the song to an audio track in X2
In track view, select the track, then use the "Audio Transients" view on the track drop-down. 
Open the Audiosnap panel (shortcut "A").
On the tempo, select the "Clip follows tempo" dropdown.  Make sure that "Auto Stretch" is selected.  Then turn on 'Clip Follows Project."
 
Now you can use the project tempo to speed up or slow down the track without changing pitch.
