Default Alternate REAPER Launcher?

Is there a way I could make a secondary launcher for REAPER that had voicemetter's driver loaded as the driver for when I need to do skype and stuff, so that my normal launcher for reaper would just have my normal RME ASIO drivers?

AFAIK the "mode=" entry under the the '[audioconfig]' section in REAPER.INI holds the zero-based index of the audio device,to use, so for example if you set it to the very first device in reaper and then open the ini file it should read, mode=0.
So you'll need a way to change that mode=x value in the INI file just before launching reaper.
I also see an entry for multiple ASIO devices, "asio_driver=", so 'asio_driver=1' would be 2nd asio device in your asio list!

EDIT
Its very rare I need to open reaper.ini and change the mode= or asio= entries, but figured I'd make a simple app that shows what the settings are, allow to change them and launch REAPER x64. The app doesn't gather audio device or ASIO driver names, so you need to edit the two included text files ('Audio Devices.txt' and 'ASIO Drivers.txt') to match your setup! See SETUP in 'READ ME.txt' in .zip

Uploaded Launch ReaDevice.zip to reaper stash.

pipelineaudio,
Voicemeeter newbie here. Does what you want to do amount to the same as changing the driver in REAPER preferences (just more conveniently), or is there more to it?

Edgemeal, thank you. You are almost always Johnny-on-the-spot.
I want you to know that it is appreciated by the non-coders on here!

Ya I was thinking REAPER can probably do it thru command line, there is a lot I don't know about REAPER!
I'll just remove my post and app above.

@akademie
Sorry, I don't have a Windows 32bit system to test code on, so probably can only use it with a portable install of REAPER?

@ typhonj
OK then, I don't want to hijack the OPs thread.
Updated to v1.01 - Support WASAPI Mode setting.

I use only portable versions of Reaper :-)
But I understand if it is not possible.

I think just switchign the driver (but also trying not to lose the input and output assignments of my normal driver when I switch back to it)

Best source for what makes REAPER tick is probably mespotine's REAPER internals thread. I basically just make a settings change then see what reaper has changed in the INI files.

Pipe... why not just have a different portable install with the 'other' driver you want?

Ya, Or have two REAPER INI files that are renamed from a .Bat/cmd file (if on Windows) to select the config you want, bat/cmd file could also launch REAPER.

One problem with having multiple installs (and/or INI files) is changes made to settings, toolbars, scripts, etc, need to be copied over to the other installs if you want them to be the same, messy/PITA if you always tweaking stuff.

yeah Edge but that can be criminalized either with just a bit of discipline or with a file sync app so if you change in one portable folder it will copy to the changes to the other one... with the exception of the reaper.ini of course
