When vinyl is cut, the audio is equalized with an inverse RIAA curve
- i.e. it is encoded. You will not emulate the sound of vinyl if you
apply the RIAA decoding curve to a standard audio file that has not
previously been encoded with the inverse RIAA curve.
If your audio file happens to be a raw recording of vinyl where you
bypass the typical phono preamp (with RIAA) and instead go direct to
your recording device, then RIAA would make sense. But in that case
you'll already have the pops and clicks of vinyl in the audio.
By the way, I do not find that there is much hiss on vinyl. Hiss is
primarily a magnetic tape effect. Vinyl has clicks, pops, wow,
subsonic rumble and surface noise that is quite unlike hiss.

I need to add a vinyl feel on any given audio file, I thought to
add some hiss and scratch first and then, as a whole, music, hiss
and scratch, to pass it though a RIAA EQ curve, what do you think?
