| its easy: breaks usually have a snare on every second beat, house has a snare on every second beat. line them up. |

I found that for me, the easiest thing to do with breaks is to phrase match it. |
You should be doing that anyways, whether the new track is a breaks track or not. |

| I think the best thing is to listen to the entire song to get a feel for the tempo instead of listening for a specific type of hit like the snare/clap/kick etc... |

and personally i find it alot easier to mix the 2 if u have one earcup method of mixing...
because it separates the sounds to each ear... instead of just having a load of kick drums playing in both ur ears
this makes it easier to get the overall tempo of each song from the get-go instead of having to jog around to see whats going faster/slower/etc |

I don't truly understand what you're getting at in this regard. If you're picking a big room breaks track to mix into minimal clicks and clacks then that's your own personal problem for not really knowing the track(s). Also, picking a track that's *roughly* in the ballpark of the same BPM can help, but fundamentally mixing in a breaks track is simple, no matter if the track itself just doesn't fit the sound of the set at the time, or you have to drastically adjust the BPM to make it fit. |

Use your inner rhythm to keep time.
If your are white this is hard to do. If you are asian it's even harder.
See tempo and rhythm are different things.
This is what is throwing you off.

You misunderstood I think - he's just saying you should get away from trying to match one sound and just make the songs as a whole line up. I can remember that this was a revolutionary point for me when I started doing this, it made it much easier to get tracks exactly matched if I just listened to both tracks and made the rhythms line up, so to speak...instead of making one sound hit at the same time. |

take it all in, go with the flow if you will
it's almost like you just have to get into a groove and run with it |

...and I suppose if you're black it's hard to do the simple task of spelling the contraction "you're"? |
