Hi all,

since I've gone 64-bit two years back, I can't load m4a files into Ableton Live. (They don't even show up in the browser.) There was a topic on their forum that didn't show any solution. I wrote to the support and appearently the reason is that QuickTime (which Ableton uses to read the file) doesn't support external access in 64-bit. They suggested installing Haali spliter and ffmpeg. It didn't help. Wierdly enough, loading mp4 video worked fine all the time. ...which is strange as it should theoretically use the same splitters. Right now I have K-Lite codec pack installed and when importing mp4 I can see LAV splitter firing up and running as long as the file is in.

It all seems to me like a bug that Ableton ignores for some reason. ...or I'm doing something wrong. Is any of you able to open m4a files in 64-bit Ableton? I know it's question of simple wav transcode, but It's not as slick as it could be.
