You could do that, of course. Or, like me, you could first type your basic
setup at a command prompt (going in interactive mode at the same time) and
then issue a cs-save-as command and then fine-tune it by hand.

You just have to issue:
ecasound -s:[filename]

You have to save your chainsetup in a file before you could load it, the
above cs would translate to something like:
-----
-r -b:2048 -n:mix1
-a:1 -i:drums.wav
-a:2 -i:guitar1.wav
-a:3 -i:leadvocal.wav
-a:4 -i:rguitar-dis.wav
-a:5 -i:piano.wav

-a:all -o:/dev/dsp
-----
As you can see it is very much like the command line format.
You should probably know also about the cs-edit command in iam which lets you
load the cs in a text editor and reconnect it straight away afterwards, it's
much quicker for experimenting.

Hope it helps,
