Hello.
1) The default "key" for CW audio projects is the key of C. You can change any audio file to a different key by opening the file in the Groove Construction window, and look for the drop-down list at the top of the window that specifies the key. You can turn off the automatic key transposition, tho' I don't know off the top of my head how to do that in Sonar (I'm not in front of my DAW now).
2) Make sure the original audio file and the CW project have the same sampling rate. If the CW project sampling rate is different from the sampling rate of the original audio, CW will change the sampling rate of the imported audio. Change the sampling rate could cause a change in pitch and the length of the audio file.
I am sure other more knowledgeable people will be along shortly to help with more specific instructions.
