A little help please!

Hello everyone,

I am a new member in this forum. I just bought a Roland VS2000CD workstation on the music stores advice.

Here is the catch. I live in Japan and I don't have an English Manual.Plus my Japanese is very basic. Roland wants 50 bucks for one, which I guess I can break down and buy.

I am very new to home recording for one. I have been able to lay down as far as 8 tracks. I can play back. all is good. Basically I need help making the effects work. The recording is just too dry. I got into the effects but the volume drops way low and the effects are way too much.

Any simple advice on how to get wet sound?

Thanks for any advice in advance.
