Well I know it's not tape simulation; I don't do that.
What I like is the classic digital sound of CDs from the 80s and early 90s, when done well; I personally could do without the tape noise. That's actually why I worked so hard to scrub it away in my mix of Street Noise's "Revelations."That being said, whatever noise you're hearing could have been endemic to the original tracks and I didn't think it bothersome enough to scrub it (I prefer not to scrub tracks if I can avoid it; the process can distort the sound a little, so I'm generally willing to tolerate noise up to a certain limit). Either that or, as you suggest, it was a side effect of the conversion to AAC.
