I just dumped some old cassette recordings into sonar platinum.  because tape deck descrepancies they are bit fast
and a little sharp in pitch from where they should .  is there a way to incrementally make both the tempo and the Pitch
I am hoping there is something like a turntable speed control.  LOL
 

There is probably a way to kludge it using Sonar, google varispeed site:forum.cakewalk.com, but I would use Audacity since I have it installed (it is free) and it has a function that does that easily, then import it into Sonar.

I have found that one plugin included in Sony Vegas is one of the best.  And if Sony Vegas is loaded - the time stretch - pitch option shows up as a VST2.

SONAR does exactly what the OP wants, and it's not a kludge...just a little-known way to apply an existing feature, and you don't have to do any exporting or importing. The basic idea is in the tip for Week 20 in Friday's Tip of the Week. A Sound on Sound column on "varispeed" techniques goes into this in more depth. I use this technique all the time, especially when mastering and I want to emulate what I used to do with variable-speed two-track recorders.
 

Thanks a lot I will try that.  

Why am I getting a "this editing operation is not allowed" message.   Is there a length limit to loop construction
I have a long clip that I am trying to do it with

Yes, there is a limit. I don't recall offhand what it is; I've used this successfully on 8 minute songs at 120 BPM, however you will receive a warning the clip will be made memory-resident. But remember, you do not want to enable looping, only stretching. Although this technique uses the loop construction window it has nothing to do with creating a loop.

Ok   It works if the song is shorter.  But I am getting the end cut off.   I am detuning the clip 35 cents.  I tried extending it in track view by dragging the end with the smart tool but I got the same result.  So I don't know how to extend it properly

Sorry, should have been more specific. I usually use this to speed up, so there's some extra at the end that needs to be deleted. However when you slow down, the audio extends past the existing clip's boundary, so you need to slip-edit some extra length on the clip end prior to slowing down. 

so far my slip editing attempts have not been successful.  I have tried adding length to the clip in the track view (before I bring it into loop construction) and it still ends up cutting the end off after slowing down and bouncing.  the actual pitch and speed adjustment works great!  But so far I am losing the end of the clip.  I don't know what I am doing wrong.
