Need some advice on downgrading to Mavericks


hi everyone,

have been running el capitan 2 weeks now, discovered today audio interface use record music (an m-audio fast track ultra) not supported on el capitan. basically, not recognized @ computer (doesn't show in sound system preferences) after reinstalling latest drivers.

knowing m-audio has stopped making product, take long time them make new driver, if make new one... i'd downgrade el capitan in order solve problem.

now, don't have time machine backup, have old backup made on external hard drive superduper in september 2015. @ time running mavericks. have read several articles downgrading el capitan without time machine , mention making bootable version of previous system on usb drive , using downgrade.

wondering if use simpler solution: how start computer september 2015 backup disk, move files created , made changes since computer's drive (which running el capitan), make sure works, , copy now-complete mavericks backup onto computer's hard drive? not sure that's clear, hope idea...

think work , if so, can recommend way of moving data created/changed between sept 2015 , onto backup drive?
 

first off, avid ones making driver fast track ultra (i have interface , digi 002r). when driver out, knows. prob better off grabbing foucusrite interface supported on el cap.

restore question...if backup made superduper actual clone of drive september of 2015, should able clone right main hd. you'd have boot external, run superduper clone main hd, boot main hd. make sure move files on current hd off don't lose them. again, assuming 2025 backup working clone.
