Assuming that levels in NexGen were correct, no normalization should be required. > xml-file: Is this a predefined file or something exported from nexgen? > If neither, is there a template or something somewhere that I can use? > I presume it's required, not optional. This is a file generated by NexGen's exporter utility - one per piece of audio. It is essentially a 'master record' for that piece, containing its metadata as well as references to its PCM data (an accompanying WAV file). > In rd-admin, system settings the sample rate is set to 48,000.

The importer handles this automatically, resampling it if necessary to match the rate specified in RDAdmin->SystemSettings.
