Buzzing on a Guitar String When I Tune Down

I have a Epiphone Les Paul Standard and have to tune down a full step for one song and noticed that the B string buzzes when I bring it down to the A. The D string did as well but quickly and inexplicably corrected itself so I figured maybe I could make that happen to the B, as well. Any suggestions besides "don't tune down a full step"? Thanks guys.

Newby Question: I want to simulate a bass guitar with my acoustic guitar. What pedal?

I want to simulate a bass guitar with my acoustic guitar to add into recordings. What pedals etc will accomplish this? I am looking for simplicity and would rather not spend a whole lot, cause I ain't got much $
I haven't even tried using this multi track recorder yet. I'm 61 years old and tech stuff scares heck outa me!

Avoiding breath noises while tracking acoustic guitar?

Any suggestions on this? I am tracking acoustic guitar with an AT-4047 and an AT2020. Both are cardiod pattern mics and I have even placed them a little above the guitar facing down so as to turn them away from the player's head, hoping they would reject the breath sounds even more but I am still getting a lot of it in the recording.
