Summary: the audio for the first 3 shots sounds completely different than the next 5 or 6 shots; there is no echo, it sounds slightly muffled. The first shot appears to have hit the top of the bleachers, slightly above Trump, which suggests an upward angle, not a downward angle. The reports from the gunshots are timed differently, which would only happen if they were fired from (at the very least) different weapons, but probably different distances as well.
That's very interesting! I had no reason to believe a second shooter, but the audio doesn't lie. ~Someone will need to explain it away better than this guy.~ Before I had just assumed the later shots were multiple counter-sniper rounds. They killed Crooks with one but that doesn't mean others didn't take shots.
Edit: I found a response thread from another analyst who convincingly dismisses both the second shooter and water tower theories. The gunshots on some videos sound different because of microphone direction, and the water tower doesn't have a line of site to the stage. u/Kienanu/evilplushie.
Better 2nd shooter theory, with non-retarded evidence: Audio Analysis is 100% Clear: Trump & Crowd Were Shot At By Two Separate People
