macOS: Mixing Microphone and PC input

• Install BlackHole
• In the MIDI Controller app, create a virtual Output device that's both your speakers / headphones and BlackHole
• In the System Preferences, set the default output device to this new virtual one you created
• Start up Garageband, create a recording track and turn on monitoring (the little WiFi-ish symbol). In the settings, choose the microphone as input and BlackHole as output for the monitoring
• Now, use the BlackHole input wherever you want the mixed audio to appear.

In video calls, make sure you set the output to only your speakers, else they will hear an echo as their output is going back into your input.
