You can use it to simply convert your WAV files to MP3 files, or you can do more, tinkering with frequencies and adding effects. You can also record sounds using Dexster, and then save these as WAV or MP3 files too. The quality of sounds can be improved using an array of effects ans filters, and you can fade in and out, normalise equalise, and trim the sounds.

If you are new to sound manipulation, just go to the Help files that are packages with the product; you’ll find explanations of what all the different effects do. If you need more assistance, you can access tutorials on Dexster from the SoftDiv Software website – www.softdivshareware.com
