I am having a problem loading large breaks into the beat slicer.It tries to put the whole break into the 1st part instead of spreading it out.also what is the best way to calculate the bpm?
cheers.

If the break is very busy with a lot of hits being equally loud the slicer has a hard time figuring out how to slice it... try some different slice method to see if they work better.
BPM: I listen to the break first to figure out how many bars it is, then I increase/decrease the bpm until the first snare is on the correct position on the grid. You can finetune this with the second snare and so on. I don't calculate anything, just let your eyes do the job.
You can do it by hearing too....
Program some standard DnB kicks and snares (doesn't matter how they sound, it's their positioning that counts) and let the pattern play in loopmode. Change the bpm from the break to make it match the kicks and snares. This works best with breaks that have very standard DnB patterns.
Or a really lazy method: Adjust the pattern length to be as many bars as your break is long. Let the pattern play in loopmode. If the break ends too soon or gets cut off at the end you need to slowdown/speedup the bpm.

Choose more precise method of recognizing the hits - the sharp method.
To calculate the bpm, you can put the .wav on the lower part of the playlist, select the little arrow on its' left side and choose "Find BPM" or something similar to that - FL will find it for you.

you could load the break as an audio file and timestretch/ quantize the hits yourself, export it, then load it back into the slicer and it'll be perfectly in time. problem with this is when you start maunually slicing the break and shifting individual hits, gaps of silence appear, but you can fill them in with silence/ noise from the break to make it sound more natural and flow better.
or try changing the settings in the slicer, theres different types of strecthing available and different slicing methods.
