Sound escaping though glass sepating live and control room

Ok so you built 2 rooms within rooms for live and control rooms. Both rooms are seperate. You have glass in each wall to comunicate between rooms. What stops the sound escaping between the the two rooms via the glass.

Heavy glass and good sealant around the edges of both. That's the best you can do.

Do you have anything to absorb between the windows? 703 covered in cloth or some foam? Are the windows islolated from the frame of the wall w/ rubber? Do you have acoustical sealant all the way around the windows, frames, etc.?
