Great for soft rock, country, jazz rock, and other similar genres, acousticsamples StarDrums is a downloadable virtual instrument library, giving you the sound of a Tama Starclassic drum set. This drum kit offers a snare drum, three toms, a deep 20" bass drum, a crash cymbal, a ride cymbal, a splash, and a hi-hat—all playable by means of your MIDI controller.

Taking advantage of the lossless FLAC format, the instrument gives you a lifelike sound in a compact file size, complete with multiple round-robins per drum and various hi-hat positions that change depending on how you play the instrument. The instrument comes with its own UVI 3 Workstation sampler, so you can get up and running right away. The software works in Mac and Windows operating systems, and runs in AU, VST, and AAX plug-in formats. An iLok account is required to authorize the instrument.

Q: 10. Would this work for a Sony NX30 with a AV-R to Lanc adapter? I hate the little rocker zoom and would love to find another way to zoom with this great little camera. If you know of any that would work, I would so appreciate any advice. Thanks for the help!

A: I think it will work with anything with a LANC. I will say, we have had these for a few years with a fleet of cameras and overall I cannot recommend them. With our Sony z5u there is often miscommunication between the zoom controller and the camera resulting in lack zoom functionality. Usually it's Just turn the camera on and off and it works again but it can be frustrating, especially in an environment with a lot of novices with access to the camera. Never had those connectivity issues with previous models but these are more durable. If it's for you, then by all means. If it's for a shared camera, I would steer clear.
