It looks like plugins do "freeze" the way I was hoping for.  But, I 
can't understand why the volume of the frozen track changes when it 
gets frozen.  Some are frozen quite a bit louder, some quieter, and 
this is also visible in the waveform graphic for the associated 
track.  The volume returns to the original settings when tracks are 
unfrozen.

Thanks....
