Sparta Duels and basic percussion were introduced. MLP started to become overused in Sparta remixes at that time. People started grasping the basic pitch pattern and also 0,12,0,12,1,13,1,13 but not many people knew the concept of "correct notes". More new Sparta remixers came in and some left. Remixers liked to put random visual effects at that time. The basic pitch sample was used a bit more. The basic chorus and most basic freestyles were correctly used. There were other Sparta remixers that were terrible at timing. Many Sparta remixers have improved during this period. Bases have also been introduced, but they haven't been commonly made until years later.
Some Sparta remixers decided to switch to Sony Vegas in order to improve their Sparta remixes. The progression pitch pattern during that period usually wasn't known before, example:įreestyles also emerged in this period.
Most notably, Tachin1994 was one of the first Sparta remixers to know how to pitch-shift samples correctly at that time. Many remixes made during that time were extremely standard. WMM was used in Sparta remixes before Sony Vegas.Įxample of an another Sparta Remix made in 2009. Remixers used to put Sparta-related GIFs and "weird" meme visuals in their Sparta remixes. Only the experienced users could get the patterns correct at that time. Pretty much only the basic chorus pattern is used. Not many people got the concept of "Sparta patterns". SupDawg444, Tachin1994, and RAVAGE656 are the first Sparta remixers who knew the basic formulas of the Sparta remix: the Chorus, DunDunDenDen, and Madness.
People then started to post their Sparta remixes on YouTube using other popular movies, memes, and TV shows years later. The first Sparta remix that wasn't the original was actually created by Keaton, and it was DENTAL PLAN (fun times mix).
But the Sparta remix meme didn't really start until he decided to extend his remix, and the EXTENDED fun times mix (aka Sparta Remix EXTENDED) was put in several videos containing Sparta GIFs. The page gathered more than 178.700 views with a 4.57 out of 5-star rating. He posted it on YTMND where it gained considerable popularity.
On February 19th, 2007, a YTMND user named Keaton Monger, also known as keatonkeaton999 (aka Funtastic Power!) or simply Keaton, created a page titled “300TMND THIS IS SPARTA (fun times mix)" which features a looping GIF of This Is Sparta!, a scene in the movie with a remix song titled “300 This is Sparta playing. Nowadays, despite YTPMVs practically having a similar format, Sparta Remix is largely criticized by some YTPMVers because they consider Sparta remixes to be "repetitive" in comparison to YTPMVs, which use a wide variety of songs and not one specific song to base off on. The tempo of the other 25% of bases, such as the Hyper LOL Base by GringoHisopo1993, Abscond, Nameless etc have different BPM's such as 150, 160, 170 etc. The tempo of 75% of Sparta Bases is 140 BPM. But the fad really didn't start until he decided to extend his remix, and the EXTENDED fun times mix was put in several videos containing Sparta GIF's and memes at that time. He posted it on YTMND (which stands for "You're The Man Now Dog", a punchline by British actor Sean Connery on one of his non-James-Bond movies), where it gained considerable popularity. Keaton Monger, the creator of the Sparta Remix, released his 300 This is Sparta (fun times mix) video in 2007. Someone who makes Sparta bases is stated as a Sparta Base Maker (SBM). A Sparta base is simply the instrumental base, BGM ( back ground music), or the backing track of a Sparta remix. Someone who makes Sparta remixes is stated as a Sparta Remixer (SR). It is a specific kind of remix that requires perfect timing. Sparta Remix is the name given to a mash-up remix based on a scene from the 2007 movie 300.
