Use compressors and limiters.

Compressor, Limiter, Gate, and Multiband Dynamics will help here. Also, if you just need another gain stage to uniformly boost the audio, use Utility.

yes I used a compressor to bring a kick out of the red levels also adjusted with an eq now the track is super quiet and O need to bring the volume to 10 just to hear it. Ill try the limiters and gates too,thanks.
