Wait, you can slip stretch a Melodyne clip?

Yes always could - on ARA clips you can do slip stretching or follow tempo which will stretch based on the tempo map. melodyne's stretching is the best. As long as you have reasonable stretch factors it sounds quite natural.

do you have to bounce to clips before you stretch ?

No you can stretch any Melodyne ARA clip. In fact you don't want to bounce before the stretch since that will remove melodyne from the equation.

I guess you missed "I'm interested in being able to create the same type of workflow in SONAR if it is possible ..."
 
It is, and I gave the steps earlier.

I would rather work exclusively in Sonar.
thanks for the step lay out Dave.
 
I would like to see in the future some enhancements to pitch / speed control though.
would be nice to have it simplified with just a click or two.
but for now Dave's steps will work just fine.
(Noel's as well.)

I'm not sure why, but when I try what you describe with my projects, even though all the clips show AudioSnap as enabled they don't all sync up with each other. Maybe it's because I'm using a mix of loops, hard disk audio, and MIDI? In any event if others have issues, try the alternative technique in Friday's Tip of the Week #99. It's not as "automated," but it's foolproof and the sound quality is excellent.

Other than making selections, opening the Clip tab of the Inspector, changing tempos, etc., it is just a couple clicks. Things always sound more complicated when described step by step.  You can simplify it further by using the shortcut to bring up the Audiosnap Palette (mine's non-default so I didn't mention it) and clicking the Clip Follows Project button there which automatically enables Audiosnap at the same time. That makes it one keystroke and one click to get Autostretch enabled on all selected clips.
 
But I'll give you the need for more flexible tempo and pitch control; The thing that's surprisingly difficult to do in SONAR is to stretch audio without preserving pitch.

I could cut down a tree with a knife but I'd rather use an axe .

Grum.
