What's the best technique in Sonar X2 to stretch audio?  Doing a remix and I have the lyric "...fly" that is currently about 2 beats and i want it a total of about 2 measures.  I haven't really found anything in Stutter edit that is similar to what I want.  It can be distorted and mangled that's not a problem.  

Any how-to suggestions or arrows in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.  thanks! 

V-vocal - if you have Producer.

Cool thanks AT. Yea i forgot about V-vocal.  i'm trying it out but i don't think it's designed to stretch audio that long.  Looking for something like the elastic audio tool in Protools.  

You could always take the vocal into Audacity and do it there. 

I don't know if this suits you case, but it's a soundstrecher for extreme uses, Pauls Extreme Soundstretch. You can stretch a coughing to 15 minutes...

Another thing you can do (and I have, but more for fun than stretching) is to copy the held word and layer it out.  You'll need to do some fading in/out, but I've gotten some good out of that technique.  It depends upon if the song covers up the change and if the part works for such layering techniques.  I had one song where the singer carried a note for a long, long time.  Huge lungs.  But that is not guarenteed to work but would be the first thing I'd try.

There are three parts to the word, phonetically, basically equivalent to the (consonant blend) attack, the (vowel) sustain and the (diphthong equivalent) release. I'd take the word  waveform in the track and split it into those three parts. The first and third I'd leave alone (except for some crossfade adjustment). The middle part (after making sure it zero cross on each side) I'd make into a Groove Clip and stretch to desired length, or bring that into V-Vocal and stretch and adjust with vibrato, etc to taste. 

Stretching algorithms often introduce audible artifacts. V-Vocal or AudioSnap can do it, but might not do so transparently. As NeuroRon notes, you can split the word, extract the sustain portion and duplicate it, using crossfades and reverb to obscure the joins. I have had good success with this method for long vowels, in one case drawing a single word out to two measures in duration.
