Default Paddle Shifters

Hopefully this thread doesn't get to long or to intense LOL. I have the obv paddle shifters but cant really figure out how to use them. When I downshift to turn a corner or slow down, my engine ROARS SO LOUD. Is this bad for the engine?...or is it supposed to be that loud when you downshift incorrectly and everything will be ok. How do I know when to downshift and upshift so I dont break or screw up the engine...maybe i cant break the engine but sometimes it sure sounds as if I am tearing it up LOL. I am an extreme rookie when it comes to anything other than automatics, ive never even had tiptronic. Can someone who knows these paddle shifters or has them shed some light for me. It sounds great when my engine roars but i feel like im hurting my baby..not to mention when i upshift my car almost kicks because i dont think im doing it correctly. Thanks Guys. Let the teaching begin
