**Align sample data for binary patching, 4KB blocks.** How it works? Is there any documentation for this option anywhere?

Hi,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

From the [FMOD Studio | Detailed Revision History - 2.02.20](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/welcome-to-fmod-studio-revision-history.html#:~:text=13/12/23%202.02.20%20%2D%20Studio%20Tool%20minor%20release%20(build%20139317)): “Added platform build setting to ensure each asset within a bank is aligned to a 4K boundary to help binary patching on Microsoft platforms.”

I have made a task to update our documentation as well.
