Slooooooooooooowing down audio (on purpose!)
I often find myself needing to slow down audio--- to say, half speed--- for a "sample" kind of track.
In older versions of Sonar I could do this quite easily, but it seems that is gone now.
I used to simply click it, double the "length" of it, and uncheck "preserve pitch" and voila, half speed.
Now I have to tell it how many beats it is, select the algorithm, etc.
OR I can click-shift-ctrl and drag it to 200%, then render. That's another long mess.
I prefer the lofi non-preserved pitch stretching.
How does everyone else do it?

If it's a loop, load it into Dimension Pro and play it an octave down.

To do this, I either use Reaper which has a form of digital varispeed and even better it allows the audio to retain pitch if that's what you desire, as well as normal type varispeed - think The Beatles and Rain. I've recently acquired Wave's Abbey Road Vinal, which has a slow button ala a record player. Very handy and useful. A side note, when doing this type of extensive processing - I would use 64bitfp audio files to counter any glitches or harshness that can occur.

Mixcraft does this very easily, why I bought it. Otherwise I just slip-stretch the clip in sonar/cbb. Not sure why that’s not working so well for you.
I also have an Android app that does it on the fly with little distortion. It can play whole playlists @varied speeds and/or pitches and can save changes to file.

if you slip-edit in cakewalk you have to bounce to clip to make it sound good

My favorite software for slowing down music, assuming that you might visit other products, is - drumroll please, the amazing slower downer or AMSLO.
Its pretty sweet though, to be able to provide single tracks to others to review, from Sonar, with a few simple clicks..

Riffstation is very good for altering time , tempo and pitch ...Works great for transcribing ...
It is also now free ..

IIRC, RiffStation is going to disappear at some point, so even if you think you will never use it, it is a good one to get. I do not think it will bake modified audio (never tried TBH), but it is a nice toolbox of audio playback functions you will probably find handy.
ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi AC), i7-8700k, 16GB RAM, GTX-1070Ti, Win 10 Pro, Saffire PRO 24 DSP, A-300 PRO, plus numerous gadgets and gizmos that make or manipulate sound in some way.

I appreciate all the feedback and answers!
To be clear: I want to destructively lengthen the audio to a percentage of its original tempo.
Now that I have a ton of third party answers, how are people doing this INSIDE Sonar?
I use the Pitch transpose (audio) and the different algorithms there, but that's just keeping it the same length.
We used to be able to shorten/lengthen an audio clip and choose the alg in the window. I can't see that any more somehow.

cntr+shift at the end of a clip then drag adjust to your taste
(important)
do bounce to clip after you are done(this will render the clip to a very good quality

AudioSnap or slip stretch. The former provides the ability to set stretch percentage and algorithm in the Clip and Track property inspectors. Bounce the clip(s) to apply destructively. Another destructive method for stretching clips in Platinum is the Time/Pitch Stretch 2 DX effect in the clip context menu under Process Effect > Audio Effects.
