Ah, for some reason, I am having drop outs a lot. And wonder what's going on hear. It wasn't doing that before.

When you freeze an audio track, any effects inserted on that track are applied distructively to the track and then disconnected. When you freeze a softsynth track, the track is converted into an audio file and the synth is disconnected. This is very useful in projects where you need to use many effects or softsynths. Doing this frees up some memory and computing power that allow you to work on additional tracks without drop outs or issues of latency.

Try adding a new audio track and copy the newly recorded audio to that new blank audio track. Save the project and then unfreeze the original audio track. This should in theory retain the new audio and restored the frozen track.

I froze my background vocals tracks then saved the project. Today I armed the tracks recorded some new material into the tracks before unfreezing them. I saved everything. It shows up no problem as long as I don't unfreeze the tracks. If I unfreeze it reverts back to what I did before I made changes today. What should I do?
