So, "consolidate" 'joins' adjacent sections together, doesn't 'apply'
any effects, and puts it in place of the old multiple segments?

"Bounce" creates a new audio file which includes effects/EQ/plugins, but
doesn't put it in the project anywhere?

"Freeze" replaces the current region with one which has all
processing/plugins applied.  All you have to do is remove the
plugins/EQs/etc and it will already be in place and active?
