You've probably already considered it, but you're going to need one heck of a communications system between the rooms... and a reliable assistant who can be in the main room while tracking. Someone is going to have to move the mics bit by bit until they sound right. Someone is going to have to make sure the musicians keep their instruments aimed in the right direction. You're probably going to want video feeds to and from the control room as well, and an adequate playback system so everyone doesn't have to traipse into the control room after every take to make decisions.

It sounds like a great space, and the potential to record killer sounding music is certainly there, but there are a whole lot of things to consider when you can't see the artists (and they can't see you) during the recording.

Best of luck! Keep us posted!
