Nobody In The Control Room, Set-up for studio recording alone? Options

[Presto]

During a one-instrument/voice session in a recording studio, I need to be at the controls of both the computer and my voice or instrument. I can't be on both sides of the glass, and mosttimes when I feel inspired for recording, nobody competent is going to be there to help.

Its a small well insulated studio for a small 'association' of musicians - I think you'd say club in English. For the moment its analogical, but I prefer to use my own Mac-based equipment.

We've decided to put the computer screen against the glass, and control it through a mouse and phones in the recording room.

Has anybody any experience of studio recording with nobody in the control room?
