Theres a difference between not knowing what your playing and not knowing what bar the bass dissapears. I am on about the latter. Can you go through your library and automatically say what bar the bass drops out, or when the crispy hi hats dissapear on the top of your head?
Lol exact opposite for myself and like others have stated. I know every inch of the songs im playing.
I know the bars and what comes where in most of my tunes off by heart but its not just about making the beats/bars/phases match up and i've found myself listening to a lot of the percussion that was throwing some of mixes out. Whilst some aspects of a tune in genre, bassline and BPM etc all seemed to fit, a particularly 'tingly' sounding snare or aggressive Clap for instance would make the mix seem a bit off and seem to change tempos/impact of the mix which i wasn't looking for.

Well, to be honest, music IS structured in a certain way. If you buy any of the EDM Beatport top 10 tracks, you'll notice they're structered pretty much all the same. There are some minor duration differences (some have 8 bar drops, some 16, some 24) but everything is structured.
So, if you know why everything is structured for as long as it is, you'll soon understand the songs in that genre. And if you understand that simple theory, it's quite simple to mix music. So, I fully understand why the teacher said so.
However, knowing how a song works, and listening to whether or not they fit and how you can keep up a high level of energy is a completely different story
