As well as your performance royalties, Sentric Music also takes care of your Mechanical Royalties. These are paid when a writer's song is manufactured into any format and can be another great source of income.

Some of the common sources of mechanical royalties are:

Broadcast - If your music is broadcasted on commercial TV stations, as well as performance royalties mechanical royalties are paid. At least 80% of the royalties received from commercial broadcast are mechanicals, so this is lucrative to those artists lucky enough to be featured on TV.

Physical/Digital Sales - Every time that your music is sold online or physically via your website or a distributor/label, approximately 8.5% of the dealer price is paid to the MCPS and distributed to the songwriter as Mechanical Royalties. If you're releasing and selling music, it's essential that you're having your royalties looked after so that you collect the money that's due to you.

CD Covermounts - Sentric artists have been featured on covermount CD's for titles such as Word Magazine. This can generate in excess of £1,500 in Mechanical Royalties.

Compilation CD's - Although not a common occurence, Sentric have received lucrative royalties for artists that have licensed their music to a compilation CD. When the record industry suffers and license fees decrease, you can still bump up your earnings by ensuring that you are collecting Mechanical Royalties.

Sentric artists have receieved Mechanical Royalties upwards of £700 for a feature on Hollyoaks as well as the Performance Royalties, so it's essential for any artists of any level to correctly administer the royalty flow, which is done easily with Sentric Music.
