I would probably approach it this way:
- Import the vocal into a separate new project.
- Trim and slide it so that a clear downbeat syllable in the audio is at 1:01:000.
- Start playback, count out 4-8 bars, and stop the transport on the next downbeat
- Dial in the Now time to be right on that transient, and Shift+M to Set Measure/Beat At Now, entering the measure and beat you counted to.
- Note the new initial tempo that SONAR sets for the project.
- If that calculated tempo is very close to a whole number like 103.98, the tempo is probably 104 even.
- Import the audio into the mashup project and align the starting point.
- Calculate Clip Tempo/Project Tempo (hopefully less than 1.0 for best results) and enter that as the Stretch percentage in Clip Properties.
- If that precision isn't sufficient, Slip-stretch the clip (Ctrl+drag) to get the last clear downbeat transient to fall on the appropriate beat (should be nearby).
- Bounce/Freeze the audio with the appropriate Offline Algorithm set in Properties, and check out the result.
If this doesn't give good alignment everywhere (e.g. because the tempo of the vocal wasn't really constant in the first place), you might need to go back to the pre-rendered stage, and use Audiosnap to stetch different segments by different amounts using a minimal number of enabled markers at strategic points.
