Matching tempo?

Hello, I'm trying my hand at a cover for the first time and I can't seem to figure out what the tempo is. 129 seems really close but the further the song goes, the further it gets out of time. Is there a better way to try to remake a song?

What's your DAW?
You can try to time align the kick drum of the last measure by adjusting the tempo manually.

I usually just render one bar of the track in Soundforge or Wavelab and import it into a new Live session. The track tempo then adjusts accordingly.

And remember, not all songs are recorded to a metronome.
If it's a proper song with drums and stuff, it's probably best to just cut out 8 bars and sync that as best you can. Then cut up all the verses and chorus and align them individual.
If it's a vocal accapella that you're planning on remixing, you will often need to split the audio into small sections. (down to 1-bar sections for things like motown)
