DI Boxes are devices used to eliminate the need to mic, it's a direct injectioninto the mixer.

Insert lead - a jack in which to plug an effect directly into a track on the console.

Optical and S/PDIF - two digital connection types.

Headphone types.

Open headphones allow for better sound in a quiet environment that is not effected by sound that will bleed out form the headphones themselves.

Closed headphones are better suited for use with say vocal takes as they do not allow bleed out of the headphones to be picked up by a mic. As well they keep outside noise frome interfering with what the user hears in the phones.

Multi-Core, not sure what you are looking for here. A multi-core CPU or what?
