ah, well I personally dont like using fl studio to record the samples... if I am using the PC for this type of thing I would open something quick like audacity (which is free legitimately and it's a very small program) so I will record the piles of things I need all at once... it doesn't have to be perfect, just rough approximate recordings.
I throw that into my sample folder (you may use the user folder or what ever) and open up fl studio.
I personally like the wave traveler but you can use edison or what ever you use... and you make the adjustments.
for the fruity slicer I am more of a fan of properly truncated samples (sample loops for example that properly loop with no gaps or what have you) and to properly make samples for those... out of habbit I always used propellerhead's recycle. That is similar to slice-x and it makes .rex files which work very nicely in the slicer as well as the dr. rex player in the program "reason" which you probably know about already.
a quick run down on the wave traveller...
it is an older generator but one of my favourites simply because it is so basic, fast, and to the damn point. no extra crap you dont require...
Basically you drag a sample into that, and first thing I do is turn the switch down (the TA switch in the middle.. I call that the tits n ass switch) then under the wave image you have at the left.. a start point.. move that around and click the key you have selected (the key with the orange highlight), boom you have a sample... then click the next key beside that (black keys count and can be selected) to highlight that in orange and you turn down the TA switch and move the start point.. now you got a second chop..
finally go to piano roll and by default the c5 key should be the first chop and you know the rest.
if you have your controller set to the correct notes the first pad should hit the first sample, second pad should hit the second one... and so forth...
to record the chops using the controller, right click the record button up at the top of the screen and make sure the "score" selection is ticked.. the automation and audio are not for recording midi notes from your controller... the automation is for if you have a controller with faders such as the axiom 49, you can use that to record the faders moving knobs or volumes etc... you could have a filter and wobble it live. you want the "score" option though.
next, if you find when you push a note on the controller... it seems delayed that is called latency. you can combat this. go in the midi settings, and you will see a slider that says "buffer" or something relating the the buffer. the if you turn it all the way down you will hear clicking when you push spacebar (play) so the idea is to gradually turn the buffer up just enough so you dont hear clicking.. however if you turn it all the way up, you wont hear clicking but you push a midi controller note and you might as well take a nap because you'll only hear the result the next morning.
hope that helps.
