That would be like turning the pan knob on your stereo all the way to one side and thinking that you're hearing a mono mix of the song. You're not. You just threw half of the information away. You have to engage the mono button (if it has one) that will sum the left and right sides together.

I can't think of any way to collapse stereo to mono in Pro Tools without bouncing or re-recording. I've been looking, though.
