Stereo to mono

I have a stereo interview track that has wonkey levels throughout. It's just voice and could be mono as a quick fix. How do I make a stereo track mono?

Thanks for the reply! Changing to mono would def. help. I do this all the time in daws. Here's whats's happening... Right now, the levels on the left channel are low in the beginning, then increase sporadically and throughout. Same for the right channel. Key-framing would take a very long time. One option I have is to export the entire clip's audio into a daw, mono the track then sync back up. Then, even if FCP dropped it in as stereo mono, the tracks would be balanced. I could then compress to keep levels consistent. I could avoid this if there was a way to do this inside FCP. Thanks!!!
