Okay, assuming your stereo amplifier has 2 RCA outs (stereo right & left) you now need some kind of interface to get the signal into your computer. This is entirely subjective & up to you as far as what to buy. PreSonus & M-audio both make excellent firewire interfaces that start at around 200 bucks. If you want to go even cheaper than that, there are some USB interfaces that would probably do the job just fine. If I were spending the money, I would look at getting a cheap firewire type interface (possibly one with RCA inputs even but most music stores would be able to get you some RCA to 1/4" TRS adapters for cheap as well). Now, having said that, If you want to go REALLY cheap, you could get an RCA to 1/8" stereo adapter (again available just about anywhere) & run it into your "audio line-in" port on your mac. You will probably hate the results though.
I have never really played with GB but you will probably set a audio track to "record" (you may have to make sure that your mac's input is selected as an audio source in the "preferences" drop down menu if you don't get a signal immediately after "arming" your track to receive incoming audio).
