I applied some more effort on those audio filters and I got a bit more from that exchange on Dayve’s video. I’ve been using high-pass, low-pass, a compressor, 15-band equalizer, gain, noise reduction,etc…
07:08 - Cammoshorts turns corner of AGR6
07:15 - “something” (cammoshorts summons Greg, pointing a direction)
07:19 - Cammoshorts: Hey…
07:20 - Cammoshorts: Greg…
07:21-22 - Someone 1: unintelligible Greg
07:22-23 - CammoShorts: He was with us, unintelligible
07:24 - Dayve Stewert interruption
07:25 - Dayve Stewert interruption
07:26 - Cammoshorts: Top or down?
07:29 - Nicol: I wasn’t there (or I was in there)
07:32 - Nicol: Greg Nicol: First Burst of shooting (fence rattle) don’t/won’t stop shooting…
07:35 - Someone 2: Did you see him hit?
07:36 - Someone 3: Yeah, did that happen?
I would like to be clear about Someone 1 and that “he was with us” said by cammoshorts with an emphasys on the “with”: the meaning is not yet clear and this is assuming I understood the voices correctly. Whoever “was with us” could be a reference to either GregNicol or Crooks. If it was about Crooks, it could be about him having deceived them while they were looking for him, or if it was meant to reference Nicol, it could be about him being on that door 13 that @vegaspatriot mentions. The deeper and faint voice of Someone-1 appears to be saying “Where were you Greg?”, but I can’t hear a “where” and the “were you” appears to be there, and it does fit.
Let’s assume Someone1 is BeardUndercover and think possible alternatives…
a) Beard asks “Where were you, Greg?”, and Cammoshorts replies to Beard about Greg’s location, going over what happened. “He was with us”. From the audio, it does appear that is the case, but I’m trying to improve the clarity on Beard’s voice, it’s deeper and it’s very faint.
b) Beard asks “Where were you Greg”, and Cammoshorts cuts in, ignores Beard’s question and tells Greg that Crooks was with them (cammo and beard), which could indicate that Crooks deceived them somehow. I don’t believe it could indicate they had Crook’s trail, because then it would be “we were with/on him”, instead of “he was with us”.
c) what else?
Keep in mind beard and cammo were there looking for Crooks for at least about 9 minutes if they were the 2 undercover officers brought in from Sheetz, and even longer if they were already there. At 18:08 one of them probably is the person walking north on the east side of AGR while Crooks is already on the roof. I believe Cammo and Beard were both walking south to north at around 18:05 to 18:09, one on the west side, another on the east side, which is consistent with them both appearing on Grimley’s video on the west side on the northern most building, just before the shooting.
I’ve been changing parameters on the filters to get better clarity (I’ve been using ShotCut first, since I don’t like Audacity and I don’t want to install something else. Then after some overall parameters gives good results I try it out on Audacity.
