    sound Where did you find your music for your film?

    Silverbird. Because you are in Australia contact APRA/AMCOS. http://www.apra-amcos.com.au/MusicConsumers/Findalicencetosuityourneeds.aspx or you can hire a music supervisor. Another alternative would be to contact the copyright owners directly.

    In fact Reaper has a 30 day free trial. Then you would qualify for the discounted license of $40.
