A surprising and heart-warming show of support from many SAW users helped Bob to transition out of his ten-year old company, and reestablish himself as an independent programmer/artist.

With the responsibilities of IQS behind him, Bob regrouped under his original DBA of RML Labs, and quickly sprung into action, seeking opportunities and resources to propel SAWStudio in the pro audio market. During pending negotiations, Bob continued to put all his energy into the further development of SAWStudio. By the end of April, 2002, the biggest, most feature packed update he ever delivered was released, astounding loyal SAWStudio users.

With this update which activated the video track and DirectShow/Firewire DV Video compatibility, SAWStudio crossed over into a new potential market.
