I've played with protools a bit and from what I've seen
both it and Cubase are similar.
I'm using Cubase SE and I haven't had any problems recording
audio guitar or vocals using a tascam us122 audio interface.

An average project for me will have 6-10 midi channels
along with 10-16 audio channels. Where did you hear Cubase
wasn't good for audio??

There's a post somewhere on here that covers the difference
between them, I think Brandon suggests going with ProTools
if you're going to be working within the recording industry.
Because it's pretty much a standard. But he recommends
Cubase otherwise, as do I. It's an all around good app.
