For platforms we typically frame with 2x4, lid with 3/4² PTS ply, cover
that with 1/2² sound-deadening board (a cheaper alternative to Homasote,
made by Celotex), then finally a layer of 1/4² maso.  We offset as many
seams layer to layer as we can - doesn¹t help so much with sound as with
making the final surface even.  Each layer is screwed to the one beneath
at least, if not more, and no glue - we reuse as much as possible from
every show.
