This worked for me!! Thanks for the info.
Folks ask why keep Yosemite 10.10.5 at all? Well in my case because thousands of dollars in studio recording hardware is not supported and software such as Logic Pro is not reverse compatible. So I miss out on features of any updates or roll the dice and crash.
The use of any O/S after 10.10.5 caused all driver to fail and the only reasonable fix was simple. Just go out spend thou$and$ more on new hardware. Don't forget to pick up all new connectors and cords just to plug into any new mac machines cuz that's been so convenient changing the standard in connectors every couple of years. Also when you're done with setting all your new equipment up...go through all your perfectly good existing hardware away because it no longer supported. Can't sell it...to who? everyone's on the new O/S they can't use it either

I don't know what exact hardware you're referring to but it is always like that and it has always been.
I remember the jokes when people bought their first PCs, like they have to run home to at least boot them once before they get old / surpassed by a new model.
This happens to machines. They get old and older and maybe they will have another life in being vintage and famous once again.
When you work with music or in post production it’s always a compromise.
What kind of DAW am I using, what are the system requirements, what kind of OS is the most stable with my personal setup.. etc.
Eventually you will figure it out, just to realise that there is a something new on the market.
New gear, a new Mac, a new version of Pro Tools, whatever.
This can be a very painful circel sometimes, though I also have to say that a lot of people are gear addicts and they are quite dishonest when it comes to the question: ‘do I really need this?’
I bought a SSL Nucleus a couple of years ago and because SSL relied on third party usb drivers there is no way to use the device’s internal sound card with macOS later then Yosemite (third party decided not to supply further updates).
Of course it sucks, but what you gonna do? It still works under the same circumstances as when I bought it. I just can’t upgrade or update it.
But like you said, it’s just work and I don’t need to surf and synch my phone on all of my Macs.
So that Mac running Yosemite stays offline and does what it is supposed to do: work.
Until the Nucleus departs its life or I get too nervous and pull the trigger on something new.
(Though I think 10.10 really is an in between macOS, neither fish nor fowl. Strange system font and not wearing the new design very proudly. Like a dress or suit you don’t feel comfortable in but people keep telling you: of course you look great..)

Also, enable the cut/copy and paste for files in Finder. How many decades does it take for tens of thousands of Apple software engineers to enable these basic file-management functionalities?
Copy - cmd + c
Paste - cmd +v
Paste and move, don't copy (cut) - cmd + opt + v
that's all you need.

You discontinued Time Capsule. You sell many more MacBook and MacBook Pros than you do desktop Macs. MacBook and MacBook Pros should be able to back up wirelessly over the network, but you killed Time Capsule and do not support backups to third-party devices.
There are plenty of routers that support TM. Just hook up a hard drive to the router and you're good to go.
Since Sierre or maybe High Sierra you can setup an other mac as a Time Machine server as well.
It's included in sharing preferences now.
