In SONAR X3, I have a guitar fill that somehow got stretched to 103%.  No idea how but it also made it sound really warbley.
Is it possible to unstrech to the original length and get back the original quality?  I tried stretching it back to 100%, but it still sounded warbley.
 

Try looking in the project's Audio folder.  The original unaltered WAV file might still be present.
 

Thanks for the reply.  I did copy the file from the audio folder.  In this case it worked because the fill started at time=0:00.  How would I do the same if the audio file was in the middle of the song?  Is there a way to a way to import while retaining the original time location of the file?

it hasnt been rendered down (hence the 103% still being visible). just ctl+drag the right side of clip to the left till it resorts back to 100%. 
 
 
nm, saw you tried that already. just bounce it down. realtime time stretching is pretty bad, but offline using the izotope algorithms should solve the problem.

Usually when you import audio using the menu, it places the clip at the current "Now time".  Otherwise it is easy enough to just move it to the correct position.  You can also import audio by dragging the file from Windows Explorer into the Sonar GUI and placing it exactly where you want it.

As perfectprint said, the fact that it's still showing the stretch percentage indicates the stretching hasn't been rendered permanent by bouncing. The way to undo it then is to go to the Audiosnap section of Clip properties in the Inspector and either set the stretch percentage back to 100% which both resets the stretch and disables stretching or just uncheck the Enable Stretch box which will leave the 103% showing but grayed out and inactive. Either way, stretching will be completely disabled, and the clip will play normally.

have you tried the  EDIT>UNDO function?
 
as long as you have not saved it and closed the project the undo function should still be an option. 
 
In my experience, in working in a project, every now and then I will inadvertently delete a clip or drag a clip a bit making it out of sync.... rather than trying to drag it back I simply use the EDIT>UNDO and waaa laaa, it's back to where it was supposed to be. This works fine up until you save and close the project. Then, apparently, Sonar wipes the undo for that project session from it's files.... at that point, next day for example, if you discover the mistake.... ouch.... the undo won't work. It's either try to fix it, or grab the mics and do a punch in recording session.

I assumed he had saved and closed the project or had made so many edits since the stretch that it wasn't feasible to use undo. But I guess it never hurts to point out the obvious.
