Hi,
I'm looking for a way to to use a shortcut to change through two audio interfaces in the ableton preferences audio settings.
I'm on macos and actually trying with bettertouchtool and automator but I'm not able to find a working solution.
any ideas?

You want to be able to swap audio interface on the fly??

exactly.
I'm using sonarworks references which works perfect during producing and mixing. but for recording it has to much latency. therefore it would be comfortable to switch between sonarworks and my audio interface.

i guess you are using Sonarworks Systemwide?
i would suggest using the Sonarworks Reference AU/VST plugin in Live for production instead. that way you won't need to switch audio interfaces at all. then either put Sonarworks on the actual Master channel, or set up some busses to control the routing to go either through Sonarworks, or direct to the Master.
note also the that zero latency setting of the plugin is truly zero latency in Live, unlike Systemwide.
